Thanks to Derek and everyone who replied. I will have some reading up to do. I like Mandrake it has alot of goodies and it is hard to believe it is free!! This is the distro I am going to go with. I think I will be purchasing a copy to support Mandrake. Updating my system and getting this firewall going is next on my list. Thanks to the group! Best Regards Bill
