Personal Firewall--In 8.0 you can use Bastille in interactive mode, or you
can download PM Firewall for free
Cookie Manager--Squid can be set up to handle this and also to compress ads
broadcaast to you to one pixel on your screen
Ad Manager--see remarks concerning Squid--also Mandrake Internet Security
Pack has this feature
Keyword Alert--Portsentry or IPlog properly configured will do this
Untraceable Encrypted email--Hmmm it is not the point usually to make email
untraceable, and it is getting harder and harder to do with relaying servers
requiring additional info all the time. But the encryption is well done by
GNU Privacy Guard (GPG)
Anonymous browsing and chat--Being undetected online is pretty easy with any
of a number of Chat and Instant Messenger tools.
So you have these capabilities built into your Mandrake installation under a
number of names, and they are compatible with AOL Instant Messenger and
o9ther software that Freedom claims to be incompatible with. Plus, with the
Mandrake software, you have the freedom to make changes and redistribute.
It is a nice idea to put all of these features in one package. Maybe we can
add something like that to future releases.
