[MLB-WIRELESS] what distro for gateway.

[Brendan Hiley]

You want to put a 1.2GHz CPU and 256MB of DDR SDRAM in a box that will sit 
98% idle?

That is fsckin nuts :)

Don't use Redhat 7, use 7.3 if you really must.

If I hard that hardware and was in a position to run an access 
point/fileserver/game server it would be running FreeBSD.

ok. I now know what system Im building and want to know the best distro 
for 
my needs.

System 
AMD 1.2 /256DDR / MSI mobo with KT266 chipset/Rihcoh PCI cradles (2)/ 
Roamabout (2) / 8139 NIC

Perpose. mWireless AP / Fileserver / gmae server (mybe)

My skill in  *nix: Very limited. Can work my way around to edit .conf 
files as 
needed but know little more than that.

I work in a workplace that runs RH7 servers and can talk to the techs 
there 
anytime about problems and also get any update cd's needed (Tho im still 
on 
netstats so thats not soo important).

Given these details what would my best choice be for a distro to run well 
as a 
mWireless AP ?
