[plug] Re: Custom Knoppix or Custom CD Distro (IRC)

[Weirdo]

Ok, some revisions to what I wrote last night.

The IRC client will probably need to get the server name that it needs to 
connect to from the gateway.
The gateway will be running apache (visible only to internal network) and 
the client will need a basic browser to read the instructions, rules...

Thanks
