Unforch, the dd-wrt is a complete, busybox based, nominally 11 megabyte 
download that you write to a CF, put the CF in an IDE adapter, and simply 
boot it.  And while it has stood the test of time in turning away the 
attackers, it is also approaching 4 years old since its last update.

I may yet see about openwrt, if it has an x86 compat build available.

However, it appears I have this machine 'serving', an ntpq -p now shows:
 root at shop:/var/log/ntpstats# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  
jitter
==============================================================================
 router.coyote.d .INIT.          16 u    -  512    0    0.000    0.000   
0.000
*europium.canoni 193.79.237.14    2 u   76  128  377  108.244   -1.016

0.479

But the IP it shows above for this machine, the last entry above, is not 
this machines IP!  Methinks there may be a bug in that.  But we'll see what 
the long term effect is.

Thanks & Cheers Nils, gene
