| 31848 | 2002-01-19 00:07:00 | Hi, I've decided to move away from windows as much as possible, so I will be running several versions of Linux and will run any windows programs under wine or vmware. My big stumbling blocks are: 1. Are there any free antivirus products out there for linux? 2. Are there any gui based free firewalls for linux? (This isn't such a biggy, but it be convenient if there were). Thanks B |

| 31850 | 2002-01-19 02:24:00 | Have a look through the online manuals: nix.tmk.auckland.ac.nz . 'Securing and Optimiziing Linux Red Hat Edition' refers to Tripwire. (tucows/linuxberg have Aide (free version of Tripwire). Also have a lookm at Linux administrators Security Guide : www.seifried.org/lasg/ . Also the 'Installation and Getting Started' manual in the LDP site is essential reading. If you want a firewall you can install on an old 486 or something as a standalone, look at the 'eSmith' distribution. |

| 31853 | 2002-01-20 03:19:00 | OK, I think I'll give up on the viruskiller side of things, but I found a really full featured firewall thats free for personal use. http://www.astaro.com/ The only down side was you need a Pentium II 300 or better to run it. Thanks for all your help. |
