Hi there, I would use Debian Slink 2.1R4, there is a firewall HOWTO in /usr/doc/HOWTO. Also there is a New Riders publication on setting up a firewall under Linux. Really good book, definatly worth a look. Others may recomment 'potato' but I wouldn't use thisd for a production server just yet!
Hope this helps, regards JohnG _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ John Gould _/ _/ Senior Systems Support Engineer _/ _/ Power Innovations Limited _/ _/ Manton Lane, Bedford.
