[Tfug] router/firewall distro

[David C. Lorenzo]

I just posted my comments on FreeSCO Linux - very easy to set up and so
far it is working great.  Lots of options and as Harry said it will run
from a floppy/harddrive.  I'm currently running it from a floppy disk, and
plan to install it on a harddrive just to do it.
