Hell yeah !!Quote:
erm... DSL & Linux, can they be combined?
About the smoothwall I don't know.
I just use iptables !!
Some DSL's need a little bit of software to run, some run instantly. But a http://www.google.com/linux search on ur DSL provider should help.

Heh, I never saw www.google.com/linux before. I tried www.google.com/mac just for kicks, and it worked too...
[edit] google.com/bsd too, but google.com/ms leads to some wierd thing... Bahasa Melayu ring any bells? [/edit]
No BeOS yet though, unfortunately. :-(

Offcourse it works. You can alter iptables or just use an old box like a firewall/router box. You will need a 486 or better mobo, some ram, 2 nic's and a floppydrive. There are several solutions possible depending on your ISP. Some use PPPoE, if this is the case you will need a PPPoE program on your desktop if you use iptables or a router / gateway that supports PPPoE. Roaring Pinguin has a free PPPoE program to connect your linux box to ADSL providers http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/
BBIagent has free linux based router software that can handle PPPoE. www.bbiagent.net

Thanks for the information guys. I was thinking of dual-booting my machine at home. It's currently running XP Home, and I always wondered how to go about getting Linux to work with ADSL. This was perfect for me! :D
Thanks again.
