Alan, Any Linux machine can be configured to be a dhcp server, if that's all you want it to do. This includes the LEAF varieties.
How often I hear people say that they don't have time to try out Linux, yet would like to have some canned Linux solution to a problem not so easily accomplished by Micros~1 machines. I think people who are `glued' to such, are simply aiding their own victimization, and finding an excuse not to learn more about Linux is just another way of admitting intellectual laziness. -- Sincerely, David Smead http://www.amplepower.com.
