[plug] Redhat vs Debian

[DAVID LUCAS - LNA]

Also if it is only a modem sharing option you can now look at some embedded
Linux solutions.  Personally I have the Netcom I-Share56 which I have found
to be a great product with a built in firewall, 4 port hub, DHCP server etc
it makes the home internet connection so much easier and less stuffing
around with the network config on the desktop.

Maybe what you should ask is "Is it just going to be a modem sharer?"

If so, you can skip the "Holy War" and go for a specific modem
sharing/router distribution.
Sizes range from 1x 1.44Mb Floppy to 300MB CD - the functionality differs
of course...

If you don't want to learn linux, my (unbased at this time) recommendation
would be smoothwall.
Modem shares, and shares files with Windows PC - and that's about it.

I would like to know which is a better Redhat or Debian for setting up a
internet gateway to dialup to the internet on a modem
