[leaf-user] Leaf presentation
Hi All, I started making a leaf powerpoint presentation to use during an aka-session (free evening sessions here at work). I am working for a training center in Belgium; every 2 or 3 weeks we have some free evening sessions about a theme that is not covered in any courses. So I decided to do one over leaf. And I could use some input on the following subjects. Leaf vs Internet Connection sharing. Leaf vs wingate; sygate; winroute whatever. Leaf vs win2k server doing nat. Leaf vs cisco/pix???/watchguard???. Leaf vs Broadband dedicated routers. Especially the last one is rather difficult to tackle. Once its finished I will probably publish it somewhere for proofreading.

However, that observation quickly changes if you decide to change something down the road. Want to add wireless ethernet? You can buy another box for $200, or you can add a single card to your LEAF box for $100. Want to make a DMZ? Most of those home routers don't support a DMZ, or if they do they only route to it, no ACLs. Want to port-forward to an internal service? Many home routers can't do that either. Want to have the router manage your PPPoE or PPPoA logins so that you don't need the client software on your PC? LEAF can do that, but I doubt that Linksys can.

RE: [leaf-user] Leaf presentation
What exactly are you looking for. Are you suggesting specific reasons why LEAF is the better choice over the other lists? If this is the case, I assume you are just looking for a bullet type comparison. I've used only WinNT for an alternative to LEAF, although I was never satisfied with WinNT. To be quite honest, my biggest reasoning is the very simple (for some) and straightforwardness of a console. I really dislike the GUI based wizards that are used for setting up LANs. Another item to consider the sheer price difference, not just the cost of software. Chances are, that if you are running an NT or Cisco based solution, you'll be paying a certified engineer for something that most anyone can tackle through a LEAF/LRP box. Total cost of ownership and operations between the varying options. I can guarantee that the cost savings are substantial. This project was how I was able to start integrating Linux in our office.
