I recently downloaded and tested ASL on a company server. My first impression was very favorable, it only took 2 hours to install and configure (with several virtual ip's / snat's and services). Only one show stopper: no DNS service. Yes, I know bind introduces security holes. I'm willing to live with them. I simply cannot justify yet another box to provide authoritative name resolution (external) for our domain. And lo, it seems more than a little difficult to add/modify anything on ASL. Two suggestions: a) Add bind as an option (with appropriate warnings in the docs) and b) Add a documented method to mount media (CD or floppy) and copy files. I will continue to watch the development of ASL with interest and intent.
