[expert] Network Setup Help

[Dylan Taylor]

I have just installed my 1st Linux box and oh my god is it sooooooo S-E-X-Y!!!!!!!� M$ has certainly taken a lot from this community.� I should know because up until recently, I was a tried and true M$ supporter. (I even hold a MCP + Internet certification)� Specifically, I want to use the following services from Beta 3 LM8.1:   Firewall/Router:� What is the best and most secure with a web interface for administration?� I will also use DHCP. Email:��� Is there an ALL encompassing package that offers the same features of Exchange?� Despite the consensus, Exchange is an excellent collaboration email server and if actively maintained virus population is never an issue.� My plan is to configure a linux-based email server as a fall-back to the Exchange Server. �� Proxy:� Is there anything better than Squid?   Is there a dedicated program for Intrusion detection and network monitoring of multiple OS’s?�     TIA         Dylan Taylor Univessence Digital Studios www.univessence.com voice 310 397-6900
