[WISPA] Best Linux desktop
A little of topic but I know there are a bunch of linux people out there. I'm attempting to use windoze as little a possible and want to move to a good linux desktop. Unfortunately many of my programs are windows based so live switching if possible would be nice. I here that Wine runs windoze stuff pretty well, any feed back would be great. I'm no linux guru so something that is easy to work with and learn.

Tough to beat my Mac Duo Core laptop but. If you are going to run Linux as a desktop, get a fast processors, at least 2Gigs of RAM and then here are the best options to run MS apps: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxoffice/ http://www.win4lin.com/ (long URL) http://info.vmware.com/content/GLP_VMwareWkstn?urlcode=Google_Products_Workstationgclid=CJqT5PTVkIwCFRGCGgodZQ_iBA -Dee Alaska Wireless Systems 1(907)240-2183 Cell 1(907)349-2226 Fax 1(907)349-4308 Office www.akwireless.net - Original Message - From: Erik Jansson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wireless@wispa.org Sent: Tue, 15 May 2007 09:06:11 -0800 Subject: [WISPA] Best Linux desktop A little of topic but I know there are a bunch of linux people out there.

As I understand it, it's basically a transparent Web proxy, that bounces probably-infected PCs to itself, where there's a Web-based cleanup tool. Gets you most of the benefits of all your customers' PCs having Spybot or Ad-Aware installed (and up-to-date). I've not used it, but I do own a couple of Barracuda's mail filtering boxes, and they generally work pretty well. If you're interested in one, talk to Mac Dearman. His company is a Barracuda reseller, and Mac's just a generally swell guy regardless. :) David Smith MVN.net -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

RE: [WISPA] Malware monitor Device
Here are the list of things I would do. 1) netflow You can get some good information from netflow. It will track each connection and the amount of data pulled. Your routers need to support it. You can do this one with open source tools or with a commercial product. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/08/18/Big_Scary_Daemons.html http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/09/15/Big_Scary_Daemons.html http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/10/27/Big_Scary_Daemons.html This can provide you with a wealth of information. With proper reporting you can tell who uses the most bandwidth, what is the popular protocols, who sent the most email, etc. 2) Snort I am not too familiar with snort, at my last job they used it on the internal network to detect infected student laptops. It was about 2500+ students, and a pretty hefty machine to digest all the data. This is another one that can be built As an open source system or you can probably find an appliance. As far as making Snort automatically block that, may take some work. Although I am sure it has the ability to respond to specific traffic, I am not familiar with it enough to say how easy it is to setup. Rather than having an automated system, you could have a CSR call the customers (not sure what your customer base is, so I can't say how feasible it is) that are infected and notify them that way, if you have the proper process you could even guide them through the cleanup. Its another source of revenue, or at least lets your customers hear from you once in a while.

Re: [WISPA] Outsourced vs in-house email
Be offended about what? How much someone is charging for Anti SPAM service using a Barracuda? The Barracuda's are fixed cost based on the device type, so the prices should be competitive. Barracuda Networks used to do 100 mailboxes for $100 per month, I think. John JohnnyO wrote: www.datapipe.com - you'll pay about $79.99/mo for unlimited domains and email addresses. I will more then likely offend a few people here but I've asked several people here that have their own Barracuda's for quotes and noone can seem to touch the price I have been paying for 7+ yrs. I suppose their costs are much higher and are trying to recoup it on a low volume as opposed to the larger mail / hosting outfits. Datapipe uses the Iron Port appliance and they also ANSWER their phone 24/7/365...
