[olug] SSL Explorer

[Joel Buhr]

I was thinking of looking at the Netgear Appliance as an option. I know it also runs on a Linux core.

The basic system works well, but some of the available extensions (their
name for plugins) aren't as well polished as others... one example is
their Java RDP (Windows Terminal Services) client; I found it to be
quite unreliable compared to Microsoft's own client or rdesktop.

It sure as heck beats 10,000 "port forwards" through your firewall... ok
not really that many but you get the point.

It's easy to set up once you've done it once or twice.

Seems to work best with Sun's JRE. If you upgrade SSL Explorer regularly
make sure you're running the latest JRE ;)

Oh, while you *can* run it on a relatively low-end machine (ie 600MHz
x86 or so) I wouldn't recommend it - I think it feels sluggish until you
pass 1GHz. Some of that seems to be the JRE - it felt quite a bit
snappier after upgrading from 1.5 (aka Java 5) to 1.6 (aka Java 6).

Client machines *must* have a JRE installed, preferably Sun's Java 5 or
newer.
