Actually, in the Ivrix.org.il homepage, you click on "Ongoing Ivrix Projects"
and in the page you get press the "home" link next to "Hebrew Documentation",
and you get there.

Maybe it's too hard to get there - I'm open to any suggestions on how to
redesign the website to make it easier to use (or volunteers to do it :))

There's another option to consider, if you happen to have a spare 486.

There are a couple of one-floppy distributions (load from the floppy, run
with a ramdisk). Looking at
http://freshmeat.net/appindex/console/mini%20distributions.html I see a
couple of them, even one or two spesifically made for ADSL. Never tried
any, though.

You get a very simple system (no gcc for the intruder ;) and all the
configuration sits on a floppy. Make this floppy read-only, and nobody can
cause this machine a damage that can't be solved by pressing the reset
button and waiting for the system to come back up... (assuming you fixed
that hole, of course, otherwise the intruder might use it again).

I believe some of them were translated to Hebrew by Or. Have a look at 
http://www.ivrix.org.il/projects/guides/guides.html 
(BTW Or: this page needs links up to the homepage).
Spesifically: the demo of RpmDrake:
http://www.ivrix.org.il/projects/guides/RpmDrake/RpmDrake.pdf

(Note that RpmDrake does not use rpmlib directly, like gnorpm and
kpackage. It uses urpmi, which adds another layer above rpmlib).

firewall again + Mandrake Demoes

[solomon]

Hi again,

I probably should have said in my previous post that I'm interested in a
firewall for my home network connected to ADSL so the suggestions for
commercial software were not what I was looking for. In any case, thanks for
all the answers. At the moment I think I'll try pmfirewall and / or Mason
which sound like what I'm looking for.

BTW - if anyone is intersted there's a great tutorial on firewalls,
masquerading, and Internet sharing on www.mandrake.com in the DEMO section. I
was able to set up my network to share my ADSL connection by following the
steps. It may be **too detailed** for some since it's apparently meant for
newbies. They even explain trivial things like how to download the firewall
package, how to untar, and how to install.

There are also great tutorials on things like using RPM, window managers, etc.
