You can get a working firewall and web server with Redhat in a lot less
the 500M - Here is my disk usage for my firewall/web server/mail server:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 165M 113M 43M 72% /
I could probably trim it down more if I wanted to. I did remove things
like the telnet daemon and ftp daemon, but I do have the ssh daemon, ssh
and scp installed, as well as Midnight Commander. I also have Portsentry
and a few other security things running...
