Linux on the router and I was wondering if anyone out there knows/

experience/suggestions for doing something like this.
The router is a Linksys BEFW11S4 v.4 The only client system I
have is
MacOS X 10.3.9
I think that OpenWRT can be made to load on many (most?) Linksys
routers. I would start there. However, I've not personally used
it, so
I am not positive about whether it is the right thing for you.

You gave me somewhere to start though, and for that I thank you.
OpenWRT being the more "open" of the options, is a good place to
start, but might be a bit more "manual" than you want to set things up.
I personally like DD-WRT, which has a bit more effort put into it
from the standpoint of the web interface, etc...
But they're both good options.
