Sir Pasamba, I call myself the forever Linux newbie. I have a Linksys WRT54GS running DDWRT v23 sp3 but I still want more control. I am amaze with the benefits you listed here. I numbered your list because I want to know what application/s in Linux can do all this you listed. I want to learn how to control my network on who, where what. And your list fits what I was looking for but I am not sure what applications do I need to put in a Linux box in order to do all this. Kindly help me maybe by suggesting 10, 11,12 can be done by squid (something to that effect.) I am not sure if this just one or more programs I need. Somebody suggested to me to look at www.pubicip.net project but I am sure if there are better apps out there.
Here is the list you mentioned and numbered. Thanks. glen Winelfred G.
