After much work I have just made the first beta available.
It is dubbed a developers release, but it is very much a usable product for
anyone that needs to build a router/terminal server now.

Hi
Is true that I never lose control on my linux box, but some times I lose
control in my X-Windows and I must restart the X. Is that usual?
I supose that's due to use some aplications. But if this is true, why I
lose control on all aplications that I'm using?

There are some dos-compatibility switches in the "expert menu" of fdisk.

I think somebody said this already, but I'll repeat it.
Use ssh.
It's more secure, and easier to figure out.
The only downside it that it is "non-free" (only for non-commercial use)
and "non-US" (can be used in the US, but not exported).
