I might rather take this route when i want to have my server do other stuff. 
I have had the linksys WRT54GS in mind. It has wireless... But here i need 
to learn how i can protect my LAN and internet usage with the wireless 
router. I am yet to learn and understand this, and i think it is worth it.

It is about a year now since i shifted to using linux from the 'other OS' 
and it took me less than a month or two, before i started exclusively using 
and then evangelizing Linux and KDE. As Nigel mentioned in the other 
post... it is definitely worth it. :-)

OK. Does jabber support audio / video? I think it supports audio considering 
that Google talk uses the jabber protocol and they do have voice...
