    Been using it since 2005 as my net gateway. Runs a bunch of services and provides net to the home. Never had a problem. Upgrading every release, twice a year like clockwork.

    That's exactly how Grandma does it.

    As you get older you will learn that grandma was a lot smarter than you thought.
