No, but initial installation is annoying since many Linux distributions don't have a package for it due to the license.

Beyond that, you also need to make sure the computer it's installed on doesn't change IP because your AP(s) get tied to it.

The whole setup is really annoying IMO.

Totally agree, it's a bit of a shit show to get running.

Good to know - will make sure I set that VM's IP as static.
