Hi.  I am currently using smoothwall and it's very
easy to configure and a real pleasure to use.  Last
night I was trying to get my buddies crappy dell
wireless router to work.  2 hours and all I could get
was the wireless part to work but not the ethernet.  I
almost lost my mind.  I have also owned linksys
products and like them for what they are.  So ah, why
do you want to run off a cd?  Is the security
advantage that great?  (I have not tried using
smoothwall this way and I'm not sure if you can.) 
Good Luck!
