| 393067 | 2005-10-03 05:22:00 | Smoothwall is what Ive seen most recommended around here. M0n0wall has always looked good to me. m0n0.ch Some can go down with as low as 4MB Ram AFAIK. Google is your friend ;) |

| 393070 | 2005-10-03 07:55:00 | Have a gander at DistroWatch Firewalls ( . com/dwres . php?resource=firewalls" target="_blank">distrowatch . com) . Should keep you out of mischief for a wee while . Chill, I see Mandriva listed on the Distrowatch page . I have never considered it a security suite any more than any other of the larger, common distro's . I imagine it'd be a bit of a lump compared to most . You got any thoughts on it? Ok, caught up with the Mandriva Firewall ( . mandriva . com/business/mnf2" target="_blank">www . mandriva . com) thing . Recommended Hardware Configuration: Pentium III or better 128 Mo Ram CD-Rom Driver 10 Go free on the hard drive At least 3 network cards compatible with Mandriva Linux Above questions are still, somewhat, valid . And, not because I'm biased towards Deb but, here's a how to on a Debian based firewall . ( . cyberdogtech . com/firewalls/intro . php" target="_blank">www . cyberdogtech . com) :thumbs: . |
