I just don't know if I really got your message correctly. Anyways, the
linux box will just have to protect my machine(s) at home, machine(s) which
will be use by my brother(s)/sister(s) or my mom. The linux will act as a
MASQ machine also. And there is no one at home who knows linux very well.
Coz I might be relocated somewhere (for a long time) so I am not
guaranteeing my self to be visible at home all the time. Hope you got what I
want. :-)
