I don't know.  It may have enough ram, but I don't remember if it has a
CD drive, or if it can boot from a CD drive.  We should check it out at
the next meeting.  Please try and remind me, or I'll forget ....

I agree.  :-)   I haven't pushed it because DL has been going through a
big transition and was unstable for awhile.  But now the beta releases
are becoming quite stable, especially the basic firewall functionality
like we need.  (there is a lot of other crap included we don't need)

And I would like to get some other people's opinion on the new release,
so we can fix/change things before the next release.

Speaking of which (wrong list I know), I'd be willing to do a
presentation on the new DL.  Sooner would be better, but I think you
have us booked for a long time out.

I could actually do two presentations.  One would be setting up your own
DL firewall.  Another could be on the development side, what it takes to
compile your own, change things, etc.  They don't have to be back to
back or even close to each other.

Plus the learning experience of creating a gatekeeper.  One more piece
of the puzzle.
