You are right.

Time to (once again) suggest linux-il-chat. where people can find
like-technically-minded people to discuss enything that doesn't fall
on linux-il charter.

I agree, and that's exactly why I was he first one to menton the possible 
LINUX implicatons. But as I already wrote, only 2 other people referred to 
that aspect of the problem. All the other posts were about censorship, porn 
etc - and those subjects, as interesting as they may be, ARE off topic.

Can we end this now :-)?

I disagree. If an MS-based solution is mandated by law and thus makes
non-MS internet connectivity illegal, this suddenly becomes very on-
topic.

ENOUGH


I agree. I started this thread and now I declare it Godloosed. Now we 
must be the first ones to show our patriotism and support of the 
law-to-be by providing a low cost, secure, open source implementation of 
a highly reliable and configurable censorship daemon that will 
correspond to the requirements of the ministry in all respects, will 
work longer and crash less. I propose to call it mediumbrotherd. (big 
brother is taken - by Orwell). It could be a fork of the well-known 
squid (aka piovra) caching http proxy. Security could be handled by a 
guard dog, like Kerberos. Other details can be negotiated on a 
need-to-know basis. We could use two separate cvs servers so no 
developer can ever see the entire source code at one time.
