| 375918 | 2005-07-27 09:03:00 | Is there a way so that your CPU temp shows on the toolbar? I have gkrellm running (which is pretty good I might add) on Gnome desk I wish to install and use a firewall (software) ... Whats effective and reasonably easy to configure? Antiviruses - (ok I know there only 100 approx Linux viruses, but I don't want any of them) who uses what. I have Windows machines on the same network and do share files |

| 375920 | 2005-07-27 09:49:00 | There is ClamAV or f-prot which is command line only (not sure if there is a GUI around for it). For the firewall either Firestarter or Guarddog should be fine. Not sure what app Gnome has for your hardware monitoring on the taskbar. I use gkrellm, but have just installed ksensor which does the same thing but sits in the system tray but it is not as nice (also is a KDE app :p) |

| 375921 | 2005-07-27 10:39:00 | I wish to install and use a firewall (software) ... Whats effective and reasonably easy to configure? I used to use various supplied scripts but have recently gotten lazy and used a good GUI tool called Firestarter (http://www.fs-security.com/) Antiviruses - (ok I know there only 100 approx Linux viruses, but I don't want any of them) who uses what. I have been using Linux on the net since 1998 and have never run an antivirus program (and I have never seen any evidence of a virus). There might be 100 viruses - but are they in the wild? - and do they actually do anything? Run your machine as a non-priveledged user on the net and I think you are quite safe. |

| 375922 | 2005-07-27 12:43:00 | If you go to the Gentoo Website, there's a good how-to on setting up Samba to scan with Clam-AV all files that are on your PC. Admittedly this is for File-Servers, and the protection of Windows users from Windows viruses. IIRC, Linspire comes with AV Software which does all the 100-odd Linux and who knows how many Windows Viruses. ClamAV, KlamAV, BitDefender AV, kmyfirewall, Firewalk, Firehol, fwbuilder, fwipsec, gshield, guarddog, ipkungfu, shorewall, tuxfrw... Should give you a good start :) |

So far so good, or perhaps lucky......Activating Clam was a bad move. Now i'm trying to find a way of changing the setting back as Kmail wont start. :( | personthingy (1670) | ||
