But since the website doesn't have a final say about the full support or stability of the Linksys BEFSR41 or WRT54G used as a VPN client, and I'm also a Gentoo user myself, I asked here if it's possible to install Gentoo Linux instead. Not only that, as I've also asked on my original post, do you think that having a 200Mhz processor, 16MB RAM and 4MB flash drive can be a practical and viable VPN client box for a VPN IPSec connection? In short, with the said hardware specs, do you think it can work as a VPN client without degrading performance either the system or the data that passes through the said VPN client? Thanks again. --- Linux GNUbie -- gentoo-embedded@gentoo.org mailing list
