Untangle's very slick all right. However, it needs substantially more resources due to the slick gui interface. Think CLI vs X. Personally, I think that IPCop's web interface is more than sufficient, and quite efficient. I just can't see how the bloat in Untangle is justified for a router. -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
