[Coco] DD-WRT

[Frank Pittel]

I've heard good things about Tomato even though I've never used it.I started with dd-wrt when I had a need to track internet usage (Comcast put a limit on bytes in and out) and dd-wrt made that
easy. I start using it and when I find something I like that does what I need I tend to stick with it. In this case it's dd-wrt and my continued use of it is no reflection on my opinion of if
it's better or worse in any situation than other linux distributions taylored for routers. I would encourage anyone looking to installing 3rd party linux distros onto routers to look at the
choices available to them and carefully consider which distribution is best for them.
