i've still got MDK 9.0 and 9.1 boxes around, so yes i still give a damn ;-) 9.1 is nice and easy to harden, much like 9.0, and still comes with Shorewall. it's even a bit more foolproof. using 9.0 i was accidently locked myself out of the box hard, due to a combination of me trying out some truly overly paranoid settings and the system clock screwing up. MDK has made some changes in 9.1 to make such scenarios less likely =) some of the plusses of Mandrake on small machines are that it's easy to install on a very small disk and still have room left over, and it has some nice sensible low-resource optoins. urpm* tends to be slow on a P75 (my firewall) but is just fine on a PII or better. - -- Aaron J.
