Well, now that makes sense: I see the merits of running router,
firewall etc. on your Linux box it you are already using it as a
fileserver / printserver. That's probably the answer, right there.
Not that there are any particular advantages to using it simply as a
router, but once it is already serving these other functions, might as
well have it do the whole shebang.

Sorry if that was already obvious to everybody else! Thanks --
