My main concern for the next version of SNF is will it be streamlined? Will it run on a 400MB or 500MB hard drive? Will all of the non-firewall stuff be removed?
I've seen Firewalls that do more than the first SNF but the download ISO is only 20MB and the hard drive requirment is 200MB. I prefer the Mandrake products though because I'd rather stick with one company for my Desktops, Servers, and Firewalls. The main problem I saw with the first SNF was that it didn't seem to be refined to just a Firewall. It had all of the core architecture for everything that the Mandrake OS had and that concerned me when it came to the securty of the system. A Firewall should have only enough on it to protect the network. I can understand putting Squid, IDS, and VPN on there. But, the first version had the full X installed as well as other services available. Thanks for your feedback, Steve
