Suppose I have WRT54G-L route at home and it runs indeed LInux (because I heard there are versions of this router which do not run Liux). Could I install on that linux on this router an Apaceh web server with a small page (using something like no-ip for an address; http://www.no-ip.com/support/guides/update_clients/setting_up_linux_update_client.html)?
