I think he explained it pretty well. His DSL connection comes in via USB,
and he couldn't get Linux to work with it.

No offence buy, why would you want to do that?

Linux is so much better as NAT box.
Comes with firewall, extensive logging,
and sh*t load of services.

Why do you want to use desktop system
as your server when you have great server OS?
