Here is a great blog on seven Linux/BSD firewalls.
http://linuxcult.blogspot.com/2007/11/seven-different-linuxbsd-firewalls.html
The winner is PFSense which is (ta-da!), based on FreeBSD. I have been using
PFSense for nearly a year now and totally agree with this blog's conclusions.

I went to compile a programme in the port tree tonight. When I did so, a GUI
popped up with different options. No probs. However, later I decided I wanted
to compile it with different options. When I go to compile it, the GUI doesn't

That is a difficult issue, while this is an opportunity, I doubt this
is the most needed thing to provide education.

many, many cases it is. As with any aid project, it needs to form part of a
I am trying to do a port upgrade and get the following error.

While portsupgrade does work on packages it is usually better to do
stuff from ports... even though this may be time consuming you may want
to deinstall every last package you have installed then select a few
"high level" ports to install (i.e. enough to drag in almost everything
you need)... in g
Hi Gang,
A total noob here with FreeBSD, but am liking it so far. I went to run
portupgrade for the first time and encountered quite a few problems. I have
googled around and found some of my answers, but it's been slow going. For
example:
cairo# portupgrade -aF
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/de

Hi,
I have been using Linux for over 10 years, but have for a number of reasons
