I'm a newbie administrator at a small publishing company. I have been consistently trying to get my boss to migrate a yellowdog linux server to debian-ppc. After a recent 3 hour outage (ouch) my boss couldn't do anything to get the machine up (I'm a part time worker, not on call). Anyway, he wanted to buy a Cobalt but I recommended we install a smoothwall machine instead. I'm confident I can get the smoothwall machine up and running but what I really want is a debian based distro for easy upgrades and maintenance. Whatever I install I have to be able to convince him that he can semi-administer it if I'm not there.
Is there a debian-firewall/router distro similar in function to smoothwall? All the server needs to do is act as a firewall/router for the internal lan and the webserver. It won't be offering any other services. TIA, Jesse -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
