I just installed Linux Mandrake 7.1 and I used the automated install as every time I tried the customized something went wrong and it would not boot completely. I'm to new to troubleshoot so I took the easy way out but now I am overloaded with hundreds of packages that I really dont want as of yet. I am really concerned with security as I am on a cable modem any suggestions for firewall/router that is effective in a two computer Lan. Thanks in advance, John
