Hey all, Have a couple of questions for you. First, I'm setting up a Linux box with 64-bit PCI Gig ethernet cards. One SX, and one copper. It's going to act as a firewall. So, the first question is has anyone had any experience with Linux firewalling and Gig speeds? Are there horrible throughput issues? Any other gotchas? I'll be testing throughput today or monday against another SX box, but I unfortunately don't have another gig copper box to test against. Ah well. The second question's a bit easier, and I think it's been asked before but not answered. A friend of mine recently got a job as a Solaris admin (much to his chagrin; more like he got stuck with the job), and needs a good Solaris Admin book that's somewhat basic. Any suggestions? Thanks all... -Brian ----------------------------------------- Brian Sweeney [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The life expectancy of an unpatched, default installation of Red Hat 6.2 server is three days.
