I also recommend OBSD. There are several firewall/router-specific Linux distros, like Coyote linux, that are pretty easy to install.

(not sure the rest of the specs off hand, i know one system has 10 2.5gig SCSI Drives)... Would either of these be suited for a firewall setup? I'm assuming some version of *nix could handle this w/ out a problem, as well as maybe acting as a file server (no important files) and a few other misc tasks. This sound feasible? and what *nix flavor would be best suited to something like this? Neither of us are "well versed" in linux/unix, but we're both familair with it. thnx shane ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
