<p><font size="2">Yes - my portal/mail-reader/firewall runs Slack: old, slow hardware; modest memory; antique graphics. Works fine in other words. Gets a reboot every 7-9 months whether it needs it or not (usually not). (That 'fsck' takes a _long_ while on a 333 MHz 'K6'! &8-)<br>
<br>
I tried several then-current distros (including 'RULES') and Slack was the one I could actually install -- not a disappointment, either. It was a nostalgia trip, though.<br>

Subject: [ale] Linux Router/Gateway Usage<br>
<br>
Years ago, I ran a much older (and simpler) version of Slackware as my home LAN <-> Internet router and gateway on a Pentium 100. A good bit has changed since then.<br>
<br>
I'm wondering if the same is still being done by other Linux users and what they recommend.<br>
<br>
I am open to suggestions. The box I am contemplating does not have to handle a significant load in terms of bandwidth.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
