| 242088 | 2004-06-07 12:39:00 | First of all i would like to thank everyone in this thread that helped me And just to let you all know i now have a hardware linux firewall up and running. I downloaded smoothwall this morning burnt it to a cd then went to Dick Smith and got a cable and then i came back and spent 3 hours setting it all up. It took a few attempts but i got there in the end. i have even installed the updates to smoothwall with out any problems. Once i got it up and running i pointed my browser to www.grc.com and took the shields up test and it reported all ports running in stealth mode so i am more than happy. The upshot to this is that my interest in linux has being renewed so its off to install mandrake 10 next. Once again thanks for all your help cheers chris |

| 242089 | 2004-06-07 12:56:00 | Well done :) Mandrake 10....Oh NOoo. Ark or Fedora might be better if you really insist on installing a Red Hat based distro. If you want ease of use give Xandros a try or my own personal bias is to Mepis which does the hardware detection with its eyes closed. Cheers Murray P PS. Take no notice of any flames from the red army. |

Send me an Email (Click my PF1 username) and I'll set you up with a set of CD's if you want. Ark is aimed at the home user, not at the 'masses' as Fedora / Mandrake are. Congrats on getting the Firewall up and running :-) Chill. |

| 242091 | 2004-06-07 22:27:00 | Hey Murray, Mandrake is good for me.... I wouldn't necessarily recommend Mandrake 10 (yet) but 9.2 is pretty good. Of course with Mandrake Move (live cd), you can "try before you buy". |
