Hi, I know of IpCop as a firewall, but wondered what there might be that could run on the machine it is protecting. I think Firestarter (a Gnome project) can run on the same machine it is protecting. Whilst I can appreciate the advantages of IpCop as a minimalist machine, if you can't always guarantee a laptop (say) is working behind a firewall I was interested in what else might be available. And particularly interested where there might be reviews and so on.

I have used http://www.coyotelinux.com/ (but not the recent additions i noticed on the site today). Mainly have http://www.freesco.org running on an old 486/32mb ram with just a floppy but recently upgraded it to a p133/64mb ram & 2.5 gig hard drive as i have made use of the many packages available, squid, cron, apache with PHP4 & mysql. You can have several different dialups, I use BTsurftime and change the dialup to suit times with cron. Simple setup making services only available locally, second modem for dialin,( I use this and vnc with long distant clients to dialin and sort any problems). Hope this helps Darren -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
