umm, if you want no troubles linux, there is a REALLY basic routing version called "Cyote Linux", runs of a single floppy disk which is handy.

linux is a peice of piss if you just take it easy and follow the instructions
once set up you NEVER need touch it again too (unless you care heaps about security and watn to patch, but meh) |
