I have no experience setting up a firewall (except for the "preconfigured"
kind you can get for windows), so I don't have a lot of understanding about
how to firewall my Linux system. What's the best place to find that kind of
information?
Thanks!

A sysadmin friend of mine recommends FreeBSD highly as a firewall
system, as well.

Hey All,
I highly recommend using OpenBSD as your firewall. The current version
is 2.8 with 2.9 slated to come out in June(?). Anyway, it has never had a
remote root exploit, was build and auditied with security in mind, doesn't
take much to run on and ipf (the firewall utility) allows for state

well, actually :) ... one of the many definitions of 'trawl' is "to
troll." as 'troll,' when used as slang, is to search for someone or
something. hell, 'troll' can also mean to sing as 'trawl' can mean to
fish with an actual trawl.

Linda's comment about how she wanted to "develop not fixing the operating

relevant passages:
