Oops, missed out on that one. I did use astaro, but that's a dedicated firewall solution and not what you want. The German IT magazine "c't" has developed a hardened Debian based server distro (free download from their web site), but it's all in German An excellent starting point would be http://euronode.org/- unfortunately the project had almost no activity for the past 18 months, and upgrading via apt-get breaks much of the mail server, virus scanning and even firewalling setup Still, euronode is probably your best option, reckon it would take a whole week to bring it up to date & fix all the outdated scripts / configurations, but then you have *exactly* what you really want and need What I do: I have all my home hosted servers behind a Linksys RV042 and only forward the relevant ports Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
