First of all , why run a firewall with a Mandrake installation? They haven't
got a good security update system ,
the release of packets are way to early , other distributons would tag them
as unstable . The main reason to have a firewall
is security and not a nice graphical interface.
Debian for example takes up about 120 Mb of diskspace(Default installation
will of course make you able to run a firewall) ,
OpenBSD will take up even less , don't ask for something that already exist
in other distributions. Mandrake are excellent
on a desktop system , but on a server? No , not according to my opinion.
