Hi folks,
Linux 2.4 firewalling is being discussed on Slashdot today, but I wanted to
get some opinions from this list. If you've tried it, what are your
impressions of the new firewalling capabilities in 2.4? And more to the
point, do you think it will still perform well on older hardware?
The article mentioned in the Slashdot post says this, which worries me a
little:
"This connection tracking takes a hell of a lot of memory!"
I'm currently running a 486-100 w/ 48mb RAM with ipchains plus a few other
services, and it runs just fine, but I figure I'll be making the transition
when 2.4.2 comes out...
Okay, now I'm off to read the netfilter HOWTO.
Thanks in advance,
jacob
