I was wondering if you would include, in the next build, the 
tarp dameon (tarpd.8).  This howto is _really_ close to being 
nicely supported:

http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Remote-Bridging/x19.html#AEN24

It discusses bridging two lans together over the internet.  The 
only thing it requires, that isn't already included in your 
package, is tarpd.  Tarpd is an arp server dameon which 
responds to arp requests, an essential tool for a tunnel and 
can be found at this address:

http://freshmeat.net/redir/tarpd/10247/url_tgz/tarpd-1.6.tar.gz

In either case, it's not that difficult to add in manually, but it's 
just one more thing the user can then do with your nifty 
distribution.
