Just to clarify, I have no "pirated" MP3's at all. In other words NONE of my MP's were obtained from peer-to-peer file sharing.I am somewhat of an Audiophile and have more than 1200 cds which I am gradually ripping to MP3 and Org Vorbis , and a couple hundred DVD's. And for you Audiophiles out there...no comments please on the "quality" of lossy encoding schemes (how can I be an Audiophile if I play MP3's etc)....I am doing this for convienience (and fun) and also play 24/96 disks, DVD-Audio, HDCD's on VERY expensive gear. But if people have a concern over my sharing access to play (not download) my growing MP3 connection then I will remove that account. Didnt mean to offend anyone, it was well intentioned. I would ask however, that people not make assumptions in the future and simple ask a question if there is a concern. Now back to the post. yes I have considered using that p200 as the firewall and forwarding everthing I need internally, but I will need to hear/read more details/suggestions and will have to carefully think about what its role will be before I decide for sure. I really dont want to do this rebuild again any time soon so will try not to rush into it. No worries.....and thanks > > > > > > > -----Original message----- > > From: "Kevin Anderson" > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Date: 10/29/2002(Tue) 12:19pm > > Subject: Re: (clug-talk) Server/Network Configurations? > > > > Somehow, I'm not comfortable with CLUG's email address being used to access what I'd bet are pirated MP3s. *I* certainly am not the owner of said music's original media.

Personally, I'd use the p200 as the firewall. I can't see you running anything on it that will overtax it, especially not when it has 128 megs of RAM. Shut down the virtual consoles, and don't run X.
