DD-WRT allows you to have more control over the OS and other features of the router. You can get a lot more stability and features over the stock firmware.

OT: How to insert a new frame on top of an inserted image?
I've also posted the following question at oooforum.org ... but I usually get faster and better answers from plug ;) So, I'm posting the question here also. I need to create a new oo document that is identical to an existing document for which I have a full page (8.5x11) pdf or jpg image inserted. Once I get all of the elements for the new oo document aligned over the inserted image, I would delete the template document inserted in the background (I hope). However, since the inserted image completely fills my draft document (and I don't know how to deselect the document so the square green dots at the corners go away), I am unable to insert a new frame over the top of the existing image. I also tried inserting the template as a background graphic, but could not get that to work, either (could not reposition the inserted background graphic). And I could not figure out how to delete a background graphic other than by using undo (which also undid everything I did after inserting the background graphic). So, what do I need to do to be able to insert new frames over the top of the already inserted full-page graphic? --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Looking for a mentor/adviser
I am VERY interested in investigating alternative solutions to my Microsoft network that are Linux based and can provide the same/similar services. I have already made several disastrous attempts using Ubuntu server/workstation, Debian, and Mandrake to use Samba, resulting in some very serious damage to several domain controllers trying to integrate them into an existing AD environment. If there is someone who would be interested in mentoring me through the basics, I would be grateful. I would be satisfied with anyone whose skills exceed my own, even if they too are still learning as it could be a group project. I have resources to make the Sandbox remotely accessible to accommodate schedules etc, I would of course need some help getting that functionality working successfully and of course securely. I have several dedicated servers and workstations reserved for a Sandbox and I'd like to attempt to build an equivalent network to investigate the feasibility of migrating away from Microsoft. I've a rudimentary working knowledge of Linux but not ready for the CLI plunge yet, in other words.. I can break Linux better than a newbie. It is becoming obvious to me that I am not mastering the OS from books and fumbling, and there's as much bad advice/information on Google as good and I can't discern the difference at this point. If there is anyone interested, let me know. I would appreciate not getting the usual Microsoft bashing as I can't throw away something that works until I can replace it. If you are a consultant looking for work, I'm not your next meal ticket, yet...

Wouldn't it be more useful and instructive to keep your questions on list? You would benefit from a greater availability of opinions too. Also, it seems a bit unfair to want private advising and deprive the list of the knowledge that is gathered by solving problems which I would gather would be rather typical for many offices/businesses. There is no need to make changes to an AD environment to add Linux servers and/or workstations.

Re: Routers
I had a wrt-600n that I flashed with a wrong version of dd-wrt... It seemed to be bricked permanently... I was able to find instructions online that allowed me to reflash to a good version. router is now up and running fine. All in All it was a pretty easy fix, the hard part was the timing.
