Nonsense. Any large office runs multiple access points with the same SSID. That's what roaming is about. I have run two in my house for years. I run the two on different channels, but you can experiment with that as well - one channel will work. For now, the controller won't roam, so you have to force it to switch access points if you move it. As for your question - IMHO, linux is much more reliable than windows. I run Debian etch (waiting for the bugs to shake out before going to lenny) and it would run forever if I didn't reboot once a month to fsck the file systems. It will reliably restart itself is a power failure takes it down. Only problem is the learning curve to get is set up correctly. -- Millwood 2 SB3, 1 Duet Debian Etch server 2 AP (netgear, linksys) wireless network. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Millwood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3600 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61347 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
