[snip rant against console users] Please read my other mail carefully: "IMHO firestarter is only useful if you already have X installed" If this is a multi-purpose machine which already runs X for some reason then no problem, but having X installed on the firewall/router just for configuration purposes is bad security practice. If you want to do this on your system, you are free to do so, but *please* don't recommend it to others. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
