<DIV><FONT size=2>It is based on Redhat, and works well as a router/email
server/www server. It's workgroup functionality is excellent, and the easiest to
configure that I have ever come across. It also can be configured for web mail.
It is not GUI based, but is a little large.</FONT></DIV>

distro do you recommend as a rounter</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a concensus as to which Linux distro to
use as a router / NAT / DHCP server / firewall etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Don't need the full blown GUI / X -Windows / KDE
/ GNOME etc, just that it will be good enough</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to have internet sharing (including a wireless
network)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers,</FONT></DIV>
