If you really want security, your firewall should be on another computer
strictly devoted to that one function. As firewall on your desktop is better
then nothing, but not as much as you would think.
Go to my website and you will find a link to EDGE firewall/router by Fireplug. I
have this desktop running behind an EDGE firewall. As a bonus, it is also a
router for my home network using IP masq. Pretty slick. The software is free
for download, and the hardware can be a 486 with a floppy and 16mb of RAM or
harddrive version (more tools and the like) on a 486 with 32mb of RAM. Lineo,
the Thinclient split of Caldera bought Fireplug a couple weeks ago...guess they
were impressed with it too.
