Edmund, There are a number of people here who have done that and gave presentations on it in previous BRLUG meetings. I use OpenBSD instead of Linux for my firewall so I can't really help you with setting up a Linux box to do this. I believe Ricky Salmon has provided some notes to the www.brlug.n

Congrats. I usually find as well that writing it down helps to figure out the problem. :) Thanks for the info about the DVD ROM, as I'm shopping around for one now. John Hebert > -Original Message- > From: Douglas Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 6:45 AM

There were some bugs and security holes in 7.0 that were fixed in subsequent releases. If you bring a couple of blank CDs to the next meeting, I'll give you a copy of RedHat 7.2. I don't have much (any?) experience with SUSE, but I've heard good things about it. There are some nice features of RH7

I just got a copy of Red Hat 7.0. What are the member's preferences between that and SuSe 6.2 (the Linux I'm using now)? Thanks, Shawn BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information. Send email to [EMAI
