Hehe...

Bah, bloatware! ;-) 

I'm using Coyote Linux[1] the only place I currently require a router, 
works great. Indeed based on LRP. 

But then, it doesn't have things like snort or tiger, which I guess, is 
a requirement for some. Personally, I have a problem with all the 
information generated by those... I just don't have time to deal with 
it. Keeping it at an absolute minimum seemed like good idea in that 
position, as I guess when having more stuff that can break, more stuff 
will break... 

I looked at PicoBSD [2] too, just to insert some non-uniformity in the 
network, but couldn't make too much sense of it...
