SBC did this to me using the 2wire modem setup... took a little while to figure out that the modem had a builtin nat/firewal and wireless . Figured it out when I started getting 172.16 addresses popping up on my linksys router when my linksys uses 192.168
I am running plenty of servers off of a dynamic IP from the SBC DSL residential package at $29.99:) Although it sucks, and my upload is maxxed at 20kB/s, it is free and I have learned a lot.
Lets see...
I'm running Apache, sshd, sendmail, proftpd, mysql... Its perfectly fine for personal and a few friends
One way I have heard is using CPU time as the penalty. Say it would take a few seconds of your CPU to send an email. You have to solve a math problem or something.
That way spammers who rely on sending millions of emails can not compete because it would be too costly.
Windows is installed on a 30gB partition
I installed Fedora on a 512M swap and a 10G/ex2 partition
I expected it to work so I had it configure Grub (or it didnt' give me a choice, I dont remember)
Anyway, it rebooted and I saw that it didn't show my Windows partition like Slackware 9.1 before it, and Redhat 9, and Mandrake 10, and Gentoo 2004.0
Anyway... I didn't know a way to fix my problem so I quit Fedora, gave my CDs to a homeless man and installed good old Slack...
Anyway, I'd have to say that Linux (Specifically Dropline Gnome 2.6 with Slack 9.1) still isn't close to XP for me as a Desktop operating system. I'm using XP now and have transfered some MP3s over to the space it use to inhabit.
I've got a i486 with 32 megs of ram as a firewall and then a Dell PII 233mhz with 56megs of ram running LAMP:
Vector Linux 4.0
Latest version of Apache 1.3.x
PHP
mod_perl
MySql
I've got it setup on my 5 button scroll intellimouse so that when I press the scroll button to open a hyperlink it opens in a new tab. It's a very nice feature.

What you suggest is a good idea.

Eh my mouse still isn't configured correctly in Linux.
I don't have 5 buttons of functions plus the scrolling functions that I have in XP. It really bugs me...
