While I probably have no business chiming in here... Slackware has it's benefits concerning support/longevity and FreeBSD is the love of my life next to real women. ;)
Sure would be nice to have the option of a barebones install that's available for both of these OS choices and then a package install of all Honeywall packages/dependencies as well as add-ons / nice-to-haves. Personally, I'm extremely interested in Nepenthis/Sebek/Qebek but talk myself out of it based on the lack of support options and ease of building the source for the OS's I run. Thanks for all the work and support you all do for this fine project!!!!!! Just my two cents. -- slim_pkns On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 4:37 PM, Drew Hunt <hunt.d...@gmail.com> wrote: > >having a bootable CD makes for a simpler > > "appliance" that's easier to setup. > > Creating a package on top of a distro that will maintain hardware > support is the way to go. for ubuntu, the package 'remastersys' will > take care of building a bootable ISO appliance after setup. > > Regards, > > Drew > > On 10/23/2010 12:56 PM, Arthur Clune wrote: > > Sorry, that was a bad way of putting what I meant.
