Re: [PLUG] Router Distro Recommendation

I like that OpenWRT is Linux based, has a package manager and supports iptables. 

Thanks,

I want to load Linux on an old Netgear wireless router.  I'm tired of the confusing and inflexible software on the router and want to try something that make more sense to my Linux-trained mind.

I'm not wanting to do anything fancy, just a basic router that lets me get in a easily see the settings and make adjustments.

I find that the unit is compatible with

• dd-wrt
• OpenWRT
• Gargoyle (based on OpenWRT)

Anybody got a recommendation?

TIA!
