I've tried 6.0 and 6.1. I'm currently using Linux-Mandrake 7.2 atm. It's a breeze to use - basically RedHat as the RH peeps should have done it. Then again Debian Woody has been frozen, I'm tempted to try that one now ...

ok, one question. Why do you have X running on your ROUTER? Personally, I have almost nothing on my router that shouldn't be there. That way there's less things to exploit.. I mean I don't even have a compiler on my router. I would seriously suggest you do the same. More services and ports you leave open, more chance to get hacked. Just my humble opinion

I agree, if all you are doing is routing you don't need X, or a video card for that matter. Linux will allow default terminal to go to serial without a video card. Just setup your router (ipchains or whatever), and let it go from there.

NOTE: Red Hat 6.x/7 is still using WuFTP, this is a pile of shit, and I recomend using ProFTP

or does it? My RH6.2 router got hacked last week (damn modprobe overflow attack..) and the perps used my box to portscan a bunch of places, my ISP was happy to inform me.

Well a few days later I reformatted and installed Red Hat 7.0 (my 6.2 CD is on loan) w/ the 2.2.16-2 kernel. No probs on the install.. Then, except for a couple lockups in X, i've not had a problem w/ it at all.

I keep reading how much 7 sucks. Anyone else try it out?

yeah I would agree, but I guess i wasn't too clear previously. It's not _just_ a router, its also my play with and learn about Linux box, so I do all sorts of stuff on it. :]
Gimp, web server, programming projects (g++), dhcp server, etc
