Is not!

Kevin, Andy, and I just installed a lanparty server with debian last night
over my cable at home and it was very easy to do.  So far we have full nat
going, dhcp/dhcp-dns, bind named, samba/swat, and a few deticated game
servers set up on it in less than a day.

the ipmasq package is very nice also. It figures out what your network
setup is and does all the correct rules for the non-security-inclined, or 
just the lazy.. like me.

Oh, and 100baseT rules.  Really. Especially on a switch. :)
