hello all,
after many time without enter this section by personal issues i have decided to post a message about the security that linux can offer for a home/work environment.
I'm using a firewall, it's called SmoothWall (www.smoothwall.org) and has a lot of good utilities.
Between them you can find VPN support, native implementation of IPSec, dialup support, usb adsl support, roaring-penguin dsl support on kernel, microkernel design, pre-installed modules (ftp, irc, icq, quake, etc... see more on main web site), web proxy, dial-on-demmand support, dns cache, dhcp support, detailed logs, web interface, console via serial port support, ssh support (also have an ssh client on the web interface so it's no needed to have monitor, keyboard and mouse...), integrated IDS (intrusion detection system), firewall configuration via ipchains chains and update system warn to help you know that you have new pathes available.
ok.. if you need a powerfull firewall, you have a machine to use only (because this firewall do not share the hard disk..) and you want all this features, you can download the ISO image from its site, http://www.smoothwall.org
THE MOST IMPORTANT....ALL THESE FEATURES IN ONLY 49 MB OF HARD DISK AND A INTER PROCESSOR 386 IS ENOUGH.
TRY IT......
bye and good luck.!!!!
