hello all, 2 questions: 1. I have succesfully set up ipmasq and ipchains on my 2 computer network. I have dial-up modem net access and can share the connection with both computers. As I have it setup, my main computer (the one with the modem, and the one that I use exclusivly) is doing the the ipmasqing , while my wifes is the one without the modem, and has the ipchains rules applied. Is it possible to have both machines firewalled? I got a funny feeling that I did t=not communicate that question well. 2. In a state of distro envy, i went out and bought a copy on mandrake 7.0 today. I ordered my cheapbytes cdr of 6.2 yesterday. I am running 6.1 currently, and am very very happy with the way I have it running right now (custom kernel, stability, speed, network, quake3 unreal tournament, tv card, tape drive,etc. etc) Can anybody tell me a good reason (other than the fact that I have already spent money on the mandrake copy) to change to mandrake, or for that matter to upgrade to 6.2? one more: 3. I have been using redhat sine 4.0, and with each new version, I have always choosen to do a freash install. Are there any drawbacks to the upgrade option? Thanks in advance for your tolerance :-) --- David S. Yates' Lotta Linux Links http://dsyates.home.mindspring.com -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
