I have been using openwrt for awhile now. The only issue I am running into is their version of samba3 for file sharing is old and Windows 7 has issues with it.

I tried yesterday to install and to configure, but my Linux is on a virtual machine on my Windows OS. No problems with the installation, some solvable problems with the configuring but my main problem is the transfer: the windows won't let me to transfer the files because he sees some exe file extension that can be "harmful" to my PC. I will try with a fresh Linux on a different partition without Windows, hopefully problems won't appear.
