Unless you go in with a Phillips.  6 screws, unplug an RJ45 and some
twisted wire, and you can yank the Silver and go Gold.

Don't let the lack of other Apple hardware scare you off.  There's
FreeBase.  ( http://freebase.sourceforge.net/ )  VB app that lets
you customize the Base Station.  After about 15 minutes, I had the
whole thing seamlessly integrated with the rest of my network, i.e.
using my addressing scheme, not Apple's 10.*.*.* one.

I -will- get this running under Linux one day when I can breathe.
Anyone who saw me say the same stuff about the AirPort over on TriLUG
last week, well, bear with me.  I love this stuff.

ObOnTopic: I went the Linux route with my home gateway/firewall.  If
you go that route and want help/hints, filfree to ask.
