[Fwd: Re: [clug] Firewall distros - recommendations]

[Frank Turcic]

I 4th IpCop; easy to setup and customize with a huge community out there to
assist with your issues/questions.  I am running IPCop on a PII 233 with
64MB ram, hasn't missed a beat ever since I installed it (6 months ago).

I 3rd IPCop.  Been using it for a year or more.  Very good.  Always has 
development and a good support network.
