Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 18:22:01 -0500 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.3.2] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org for those of you interested, what OS do you recommend as a good starting point for a bootable, CDROM based firewall. seeing as how this is freebsd-chat the obvious choice would be Freebsd. However seeing as a firewall needs to be secure as possible, wouldn't Openbsd make better sense? or would distributing it as a ISO image violate Theo's copyright? also there is NetBSD. it would be nice for this project to support anything with a cpu and cdrom. what do you guys think? freebsd rocks, but sometimes there are other choices that make more sense. nathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
