   Hello Kurt,

   Yes, one can do the remote hosting, but to me, I enjoy the hands-on work.

   I'm hoping to do that with IPFire soon.  It comes pre-configured with    
   different colored "zones" (networks) for the home, such as red for anything    
   public-facing like a web server or a BBS, a green zone which is your LAN, and    
   a blue zone for WiFi (allowing you to offer public WiFi if you want).  The    
   distro also will do full country blocks by using GeoIP and auto-updating IP    
   tables.   
      
   I've just not had the time nor energy to do it, unfortunately, but I'm hoping    
   I will be able to get to this soon.   
      
   Later,   
   Sean
