Router Task in dselect?
In the ongoing quest for silly questions, is anyone building a task package
that would give you all you need for your computer to become a router,
nothing less, and more importantly, nothing more?
Perhaps I misunderstand the meaning of all this, so let me elaborate. I'm
thinking that the linuxrouter project is a cool idea, but I really like
debian, so here I am, wondering if I can make a debian distribution that
boots off a floppy or cd, that can turn a spare x86 into a router. I
suppose there would need to be the ability to install modules for ethernet
adapter(s), some firewall functionality, perhaps a roaring penguin pppoe as
well.
As I said, this is all in the ongoing quest for silly questions.
I envisage a world where I can stick a floppy or cd into any PC, turn it
into a firewall/router and walk away. If it breaks you press the reset button.
