Re: [clug-talk] Firewall Distro?

[Jon Copeland]

Smoothwall is pretty good for a very low end machine but Clarkconnect 
will run nicely on those specs, in addition to that you can use it as a 
FTP/ File/ Mail/ Web server.  Clarkconnect has quite a few more features 
but if you want just a stock firewall then go with Smoothwall which is 
very lightweight and easy to use.  As someone once said, 'if it's a 
firewall it should just have firewall software on it, no other services 
for security reasons'

Hey guys,
I'm looking to use an old Dell PII350 128MB, 4.3GB as a firewall between my 
server and shaw.  Linux is supposed to be ideal for this so I thought I'd 
give it a try.

Just looking for suggestions on which distro is ideal for this purpose.  I 
realize that any version of linux could be used, but I'm looking for a 
tailored/secure linux distro designed to be used as a firewall.

Thanks,
Doug
