It was brought to my attention that I say something like "it's better to have your server doing things like DHCP than to let your router handle it"

What I meant to say was...
"it's better FOR ME to have my server to DHCP and stuff than to let some little under-powered router do it" -- but of course your network will be different from mine, with different needs and different loads and all that...so for you, it might make sense for you to just let your router handle DHCP.

If you have questions of course you can always email me and I'll answer whatever I can.  klaatu-at-goListenToGnuWorldOrderOggcastForMyEmailAddress.com
