It will be all CLI.
I already have some experience here: about two or so years ago, I set
up a triple interface router based on Gentoo, using a hand-me-down PC
and some ancient NICs that were laying around, and played around with
firewalls, DNS, et cetera. But the old computer I was working with was
so noisy and sucked so much energy that I threw it out after a few weeks.
I actually have a spare Belkin N Wireless Router -- I've been trying
to figure out how to install my own Gnu/Linux OS on it, but I haven't
made any progress. It doesn't seem to have telnet or ssh ports open.
The only way in through the Web interface is to install new firmware,
and the only firmware they provide is a binary blob from their website
with no source code, so I'm not sure how to study or alter it.
