This is definitely for the HOME user. WARNING!!! Do not install on a box
directly attached to the Internet!

Text based install on a 667Mhz 384Mb box took about 20 minutes total, another 15
to configure it.
DHCP is set by default, with no way to change it during setup. Must use
netconfig after initial log in.
No Firewall rules by default. NONE... Wide open.
Apache is set to glom onto any IP address, see warning above.
No easy way to change the maint password.

Other than that it is relatively painless. X-Lite logged right in. 

I think I hear an asterisk at WORK project... CentOS 4.1, 2 NICs, virtual hosts for
inside administration...
