IPCop is a standalone distribution, available here:
www.ipcop.org
As to your other question, please see "ping of death" and related attacks.
Here is a little message from
www.grc.com after running their port scanning
test:
"Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single
packet solicited or otherwise was received from your system as a result
of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to
repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing
probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some
questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to
"counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system
wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice."

Subject: Re: IPCop v1.4.5 Configuration
I have some questions about IPCop:
1- What do I apt-get? I tried IPCop, ipcop, IP<tab><tab>, and ip<tab><tab>
None of these returned anything of use
2- Why would I want to prevent ping returns?
