Hello Plug,

 

I am hoping to attend the install fest this weekend.  I have a handful of years experience in IT, but no experience with Linux.  I fried my router so I started looking at options.  I was thinking of using an old pc to install ip-cop, but on second thought I decided maybe a Linux box for a firewall would be more useful.  I used to work on Novell servers, so I am interested in the new developments between Novell and SUSE.  With that in mind, I am hoping to find someone who could help me set up a SUSE distro Linux box which will act as a firewall for my home office.

 

I am using limewire and azureus (bit torrent) and would like to use these applications behind a linux firewall.  I could always buy a new router, but what's the fun in that?

 

Please let me know if this sounds like something an install fest volunteer would be willing to consider.

 

Regards,

 

James
