iptables and apache virtual hosts

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Scott:

The default software on the Linksys is just an interface to iptables.

But, the coolest thing about this device is that it runs Linux, and
Cisco has made the sourcecode available.

So, in typical open source fashion, there are now a plethera of
alternatives for use on the Linksys. Think of it sort of like choosing
between Debian, Slack, Gentoo, and Fedora. On the Linksys you can choose
Linksys's default, or Sveasoft, or OpenWRT, etc. I'm running OpenWRT and
it's wonderfully accessible:

If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.
