actually you'd have more features. all of the cheap routers i've tried so far you could not disable the NAT between the wan and lan (which i require for some applications). and you can use their own OS on it (they even have a "trial" that seems almost full featured. way most feature than a belkin/linksys/etc anyway).
i agree, 220$ is a bit steep for the home luser. but if you need the power, it's on par with a good cisco (30000$ for a cisco with the same options i have, that's with a 30% discount)
the most important part is deleting the documentation (man page,/usr/share/doc). i don't like doing it, but since its a router it's not so big of a deal
the other thing that come to mind is the "available" files. (in/var/lib/dpkg) those were 7 megs each (and you can remove them whitout too much worries).
the rest is a matter of going through the package list (dpkg -l) and removing everything that look like it doesn't belong to a router. don't forget to purge and clean/autoclean your packages.
doing all of the above fit debian and all of the tools i need (ipsec,iptables,iproute2,openssh/ssl,tcpdump and a few more) and i still have 11 megs to spare
i'd give you a list of packages but currently the router is unplugged, waiting for some free time on my schedule to replace our main router (cisco 2611)
i hereby suggest getting rid of all crap routers and getting a real thing
www.routerboard.com
they have a nice router for 220$. if you want you can buy their OS (40$), get one of their trial (not time limited) or run a straight linux on it (i do, spent 2 days squeezing debian to fit on 64 megs)
which remind me, while in montreal one day, some tourist asked where was the world trade center. at first we immediatly thought "man this guy's got the wrong city..". but there really IS a wtc in montreal too, it's usually refereed by another name tho (centre de commerce international, french for WTC)
i dont think it would significantly affect the outcome of any vote. if you consider that 90% of the people are too dumb and shouldn't be allowed to vote in the first place
it's actually a piece of crap (software raid) that you shouldn't expect to run in linux (driver doesn't support raid, at least the HPT chipsets). but if you're stuck on windows, it'll give you a cheap raid (raid is raid, it will protect your data)
the interview is full of shit. first he gloats about his "secure" areas for qualified personnel, while if theft there is, most likely it will be done by inhouse techs.
second, anyone that thinks DOS is "low level" needs to get a better grasp on reality. DOS is anything but low level, while it DOES give access to some low level interfaces (ie, IRQ), it is no way a DOS property.
and third, he contradicts himself when talking about "chop shops".
nothing more than a self-glorifying AD for clueless marketdroids, move along
no but it does cut you off if it finds a port open, which you then have to explain to the guys-in-ties (because you really weren't doing anything illegal), THAT is the invasion of privacy, indirectly i'll admit and it doesn't stand if you really ARE running kazaa or other (in which case you deserve what you get most likely, assuming you are using it to illegally share copyrighted work)
and how can they tell apart a box they "can't reach" from one that is simply not open? zonealarm is a piece of crap if you want my opinion. don't DROP the packets, but REJECT them. they'll be none the wiser
i'm not sure what they expect to do with this thing, but it wouldn't be that hard to fire up tcpdump and get a range of "management" ips. you then block those ips from connecting to your computer with iptables/ipchains/ipfwadm/windows firewall/your favorite bagel. that and it surely won't stop hardcore downloader from logging on IRC and downloading from there (surely everyone know only newbies use kazaa, the rest are still on irc)
they can try to block losers, but they won't get the truly geek. and i sure wouldn't accept any violation of MY privacy and limiting legitimate uses (private servers,game servers, research projects, name it)
and before i get blasted into oblivion, no i don't use kazaa et al, my music is all legitimately got from www.emusic.com, go check it out

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
from what i gathered from the debian mailing list, the available file isn't used by apt-get, only by dselect (which i abhor)

it has a nice start. but it doesn't give any concrete reasons. WHY are people doomed if they don't want to learn to program?
i agree entirely though, i was going to forward the article to everyone in the office, but it lacks reasons and explanations. *shrugs*
im in one too, but that's becauwe i work in a shack with a greedy boss :o

i was under the impression that you didn't lose your rights to enforce a copyright by selectively enforcing it. only trademarks.
that's kind of a weird position for sco to take anyway, considering that "their" source has been available for 30 years

easy, you don't

it's useful for servers. afaik rh7.2 is still the only one "certified" to run oracle and other commercial software, so a lot of people still use that
