hear of anyone being able to receive files when firewalled with a SOHO
unit).
It really depends on what the user needs, because in really simple cases
(AKA...home user with a few PC's) I usually recommend a Linksys unit. For
anyone who needs anything more advanced I recommend and usually setup a LEAF
firewall.

Subj ect: [Leaf-user] Comparison between LRP and the hub/routerI have the official release (v1.0.1) of Dachstein-CD up over the weekendandwas very very excited
about it. Thanks, Charles.
I convinced a couple of friends to use LRP (usually 1-floppy) but somesaidthey prefer a ready
hub/router in home environment (3-4 computers) because:
+ price: a Linksys hub/router costs around $110 Canadian dollars. If you
have
to go and buy a complete LRP box (2 NICs, a hub, a computer box with16M),it
costs more than that unless you go to used-computer shop and noteveryoneknows howto.
+ job done: the hub/router could also do NAT, IPSEC, PPPOE and DMZ.
+ setup: definitely hub/router is easier than LRP
I have never used the hub/router and so do not have any experience about
that.
What are your comments?
