I've been moving more and more of my web-browsing to the mac, where I
have little snitch installed. I *like* little snitch ("no, you don't
need to go there").
Of course, a lot of software complains and dies if it can't talk to
the mothership; and then there's the ever-present problem of a misclick
turning off ALL access...
My only complaint with little snitch is that I can't set the defaults
on my own. And that there isn't (to my knowledge) a linux variant.
