My firewall is on a Pentium 166 using Debian Linux and PMfirewall. Seems to
be fine, very reliable, stable, pretty tight. But then, I don't know any
different.

Subject: What is the best linux platform for security
A general question that could lead to interesting things....
If anyone here were able to start, from scratch, their own firewall,
specifically designed on a Linux platform, what would you select as the
flavour, taking into consideration the following requirements:
1) Security, something stripped-down and tight
2) Performance, as that is always an issue
3) Popularity, a flavor everyone likes
4) Future scope, something everyone will like for a long time to come
5) Flexibility and Ease, something easy to use and without limitations
So if anyone here, had the power to do it, and do it right, what would be
YOUR flavour?
:)
