[Roy Vestal]

That's up to the LUG.

 I have the firewall up and running and I'm keeping it up to date with 
RHL up2date. It's working fine. Tonight it took 15 min to setup.

Theoretically, a linksys would work fine. It would need to be wirless 
w/4 or 8 ports. Configuring it wouldn't be difficult. Take me about 5 min.

I personally like having the portable. I mean it's Linux!  It's a way we 
can show off the abilities of Linux and old hardware.

Again, this is up to the LUG.
