Keep It Simple or Keep It Simple Stupid.
Today's note is on a simple router solution.
FREESCO is a floppy-based linux router that works pretty well. Considering the features that it has and the add-ons available for it, it's worth trying if you have an old PC lying around with 2 NICs available.
Being floppy-based does not mean it can only be installed and run on a floppy. There's a procedure that allows you to install it to a harddrive either on a FAT or an EXT2 partition.
* NOTE: For EXT2 installs you will need to download the EXT2 add-on (available from the 'Add-on packages' menu seen here.)
All-in all, it's a pretty neat product. It's latest stable version is 0.4.2 and you can get more info here.
