DSL used in the house on a johns toy terrabyte server with a 128Mb ide flash and 2 ext usb drives and love it.

Ive come to require a dhcp server rather sharpish as the office windows one has died, and thought that dsl could do the job, i see that there are no dsl extentions, is it possible before the release time on the office pcs expire?

i remember using windows, ...... it was warm and sunny outside as i recall.

Im genuinly suprised, i thought a dsl dhcp server would be something quite common and simple, but no reply as yet!

i feel have to resort to finding a windows disk, or has anyone got a suggestion?
(Ill use an NT4 licence and avoid repayingM$ but using DSL would make so much sence wouldnt it?)

Use something like Coyote or Devil Linux.

Something meant for networking.

DSL is a desktop-oriented distro, and not suitable for dedicated networking tasks.

Hi
I did a quick Google search on "debian dhcp server" . It should be easy to install it using apt-get and following any of several instructions. I personally let my router do the dhcp work.
Good luck
