despite the somewhat cheesy website, smoothwall is an excellent and easy to install/use firewall/router distro. i installed it on a pentium 100 with 32mb ram to handle the biz class RR connection at my wife's office over a year ago, and aside from filling up the logs on a 1gb drive it's run without a hitch. it will even accomodate three nics if you want to set it up with a DMZ, and it can act as a IPSEC VPN tunnel endpoint as well. highly recommended. jason -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
