Well, that is the classic "poor man's router" wherein multiple IP

eth0:1 etc. Some claim it reduces latency in routing/masquerading

Western Digital _officially_ does not support linux or most other op

If you want to help out and you are not a programmer, but can do web sites,
then organize a project to scratch your favorite itch. Put it on sourceforge
and ask for help--find developers who want to do what you want to do then
enable them with support, organization, fund-raising, recruiting, publicity,
whatever you can do.

The success of apt-get has more to do with the very careful management of deb
packages than with anything in the apt-get design except that it basically
forces some of that discipline. In the time-sensitive bazaar of packages and
package contributors for this distro, such a level of management is
