The support is compiled into the Kernel and ext2 and reiserfs tools are available already included.
I also added the scripts from LFS, but they just released new versions.
And of course, nothing is tested yet.

I would do this as 1.1, because when we have the harddisk support running, this is one line in the syslog-ng config file.

I need it for me, within the next 3 month. I'm setting up a new network infrastructure in my company and need a File Server.
I don't wanna do it with a normal Distro, because this is just too much work.

There is a Bridge-Netfilter patch available, but it's v0.0.6. :-(
With this, the Linux Box is only acting as a Bridge, but is able to filter the traffic. Really nice, but I think not ready yet.

No, mainly to let DL act as an HTTP or FTP Server, which is secure.
But this has a very low priority for me.
