Yep I do:) But it operates at level 3... See the other posts for a discussion of level 3 vs. level 7 prioritizing (e.g. switch port numbers and mess up your shaper)
Nowadays I'd recommend an external USB/FW HDD. Maximum cable length will be suffcient and power consumption should be reasonable - at least the models which use notebook HDDs. And you can watch the prices dropping...
Beside many other things already mentioned I need a good auto/online update. Current SuSE allows me to keep all my packages up to date by 3-some clicks! I just don't have the time to keep up to date with all the security issues arising around the packages I have installed. If SuSE takes care about this I can perfectly live with it; installing their distro already means trusting them...
Assuming you use your linux machine as a router there is a solution. Using a recent distro/kernel there should be an ipt_TCPMSS module available. Running iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss
-to-pmtu "does the trick" of adjusting packet sizes. Sites like CERT, SecurityFocus or GMX.de are accessible then.
