You're far better off, long-term, to purchase one of those low-end home-oriented firewall boxes like a Linksys cable/dsl router. You'll have one less system to manage and it's a lot smaller with a lot less power, heat, and noise issues. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@ewilts.org Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
