Next message: Daniel Weaver: "[LUNI] Need help with a short project"
Go look at smoothwall.org
NEW release 0.9.8 (beta available now release is next
friday) as RED-External, Orange-DMZ and GREEN-Internal
nic support.
I use 0.9.6 release for home and handed out machines
at meetings - help install at Univ in Evanston on
three machines (they wanted multiple protected
internal networks).
It is about a 20Meg disto (based on VA Linux 6.2.1 /
Redhat 6.2) and takes about 20 minutes to load
including teaks.
I also have some old 486 and p75 that run great as
firewalls with this software. If another machine is
required.
I am willing to help - just let me know.
