Ok, one very good reason to use Splat at least for your enforcement module is that the OS is already hardened out of the box, whereas if you use W2K3 for the enforcement module, you will have to do all sorts of things to adequately harden it.
Plus, like someone else mentioned, if you use W2K3, you would have to deal with the Windows Updates patching the server all the time, maybe breaking things, and at the least causing reboots that would interrupt service through the firewall. For Management modules, I prefer the Windows platform (XP, W2K, W2K3). -----Original Message----- From: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Smith Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 9:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FW-1] secureplatform vs windows 2003 You are joking about using windows 2003 for NGX. Nothing can beat SPLAT. One, It comes with the NGX, U don't have to pay for OS. Two, It is Linux, Not MS.
