LEAF can provide more security than ZoneAlarm in many area's, however LEAF will not protect you against application layer attacks (IM take-over with programs like yahoo messenger, AOL, MSN messenger).... IIRC, ZoneAlarm (or similar software firewalls) will offer your only protection against those particular attacks. LEAF is more along the line of Cisco, PIX, and CheckPoint firewall products. Dachstein and Bering (maybe others) offer LEAF floppy images in a Windows *.exe format to automatically put them on a floppy in a Win32 environment. For information on setting one or more of these images up look at these links: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=1301&page_id=10 http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=1300&page_id=9 I hope this helps, -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
