[olug] Linux firewalls

[Dave Burchell]

I'm a big Debian fan, but I use LRP, the Linux Router Project, for my
firewall.  It is floppy based, so I don't need to operate a hard drive in
my firewall machine.  (Not to say you could not do that with Debian or
others.)  How hard is it to bring up a no HD Debian box?

Whatever distro you use, make sure you install only required software on
your firewall, for the sake of security and simplicity.
