Hi!
Thank you, I've already been lurking to figure out some stuff.

I appriciate Netgears QA and as a "black box" the unit is more than satisfactory.
Having high hopes for a new distro, there must be some benefit for Netgear for a common codebase as well?
From what I've gathered it really cant be that much code? Very few of the open source patches are Netgear specific,
and with the exception of the web interface and the custom boot stuff there cant be much more?
When I get some time I might experiment a bit with the unit, as long as I stay away from the flash, recovery should be a breeze.
Thinking of that, the flash is 128 MB? Why don't you utilize that and throw in some more apps?
