I won't argue with that....LEAF can be rather convenient to install and configure. I'm just saying that noone to my knowledge has done any work to actually make a server distro from LEAF. There will likely be many core changes you will need to make in order to have a full-server from it. Un-embedding the system would probably be the first required move, but I'll suspect that you'll either have to do this yourself or find someone with the time and interest to do it for/with you. Oxygen would probably be a good starting point for something along these lines, but I doubt that David has much interest into changing any core systems while he is working on his Ports system. > My other concern is that if I install too many packages I'll actually run > out of physical RAM. Absolutely. All you can do is run a box with _much_ more RAM or un-embed the system. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
