Hey guys, I want more advice deciding what software to use for my firewall. I'm somewhat new to this. Someone says FreeSCO is easy. linuxrouter.org is another. I will be using a 486 and I like floppy driven. Also, is there a better alternative to minicom? And after looking through linuxconf on my Mdk 8.1, there are a ton of settings for firewalling and security. It's possible that some of those gui buttons are broken too. So I need security tips connecting with Mdk 8.1, without the firewall box. Any body done that? References? -I saw the Linuxorbit piece on web surfing setup, it's a good article. Tia, John

http://www.freesco.info/ FreeSCO is sweet to work with. Check the forums for help. A nice bit is that you can run FreeSCO from floppy, set up a firewall distro of choice on the hard disk, and default to the floppy if needed. Choice is good.
