what are the specs of your routers? It took me a while to get our lil 586 
here to actually like being the gateway, once I figured a few things out 
(like >8meg ram == very good ;-)) Also how difficult is it to set up a bsd 
box? I only have a 500meg hard drive in lil ezri and she often finds an 
apt-get upgrade rather difficult as we run out of disk space if somebody 
actually keeps something in their home dir.

currently running debian unstable, and she does nothing but forward packets 
and run our bleeding edge (updated once a week from cvs) bnetd server. i'd 
like to learn bsd tho, so would i be better off running it on the spare 
cyrix 233 first until i get the hang of it and then migrating the router? i 
had an isp a few years ago that ran freebsd but all i ever did with my 
shell account was read email and use irc.

speaking of which, does anyone on the list actually go on the 'official' 
irc channel for the club?

Sandra.
