Firewalling as an introductory Linux topic

[Alan Dayley]

Other "e-Smith"-ish firewall distros that are easy to use:

IPCop: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipcop
Smoothwall: http://www.smoothwall.org

I currently use Smoothwall on a 100MHz 486 box with 32MB of ram and a 170MB 
hard drive.  I will be switching to something else for non-technical reasons, 
probably to IPCop.  Easy to setup, easy to admin in your web browser.
