LEAF is active and evolved from the now stagnant LRP project. It is a collection of various variants and extensions of the original LRP project. The latest "bearing" variant is based on Debian (Debian trimmed and re-packaged in lrp packages). > But I agree that installing a small Debian system is an easy way to > go. I recently did this with a 486DX2-66 with 16M RAM and 250M HDD, acting as a router/firewall for two upstream links (ADSL and modem) to a rather convoluted network (shorewall rocks). It works fine with no speed/memory issues, and is rather nice. The biggest problem is dpkg is _sooo sloow_ on a machine that under powered. Is a funny thing when a distro's package manager is a bigger overhead than the rest of the distro. If I had to do it again, I would probably take another hard look at LEAF-bearing. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info, including pgp key ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
