Hmm, maybe need a little more info... how about the /etc/fstab, the distro/build, kernel version, and output of /etc/debug (if you're using a...
Wow, it's not often that you see "which" misspelled. :x: I'm pretty sure the original saying goes like this: Ubuntu is an ancient African word,...
B professes Christianity, so the Torah is inseparable... but I'm sure he calls it part of the "old testament" instead. :) And from me as well,...
Yup, fully agree. It's a waste of money to upgrade legacy hardware unless you get the upgrade parts for free or very near to free (think thrift...
One thing to keep in mind with Ext3 is that without reserved blocks, it will fragment pretty badly when you get close to full capacity. That's one...
On closer look, this was a problem specific to EXT3 and it seems to have been fixed in 2.6.18 kernels and later, and possibly even backported into...
Looks right to me. For simplicity's sake, this is more or less the process I used for my own software RAIDs in Linux:...
Sorry, didn't see this thread until just now. Glad you got it figured out though. On the bright side, I'm sure you learned more from researching...
Right. Plus, the CPU isn't going run at full-bore probably ever on a *nix-based firewall appliance, so that makes it even tougher to gauge. It...
If you wanted, you could always build a Soekris box...
Why not install VirtualBox-OSE and install each distro you want to include, then run through the process on each?
Thanks for your candor, but no apologies necessary. On a personal note, I welcome rational, well thought out disagreement, since it only benefits...
Oh? Would you mind pointing out which part, exactly? 8 years of professional IT hasn't been enough to convince me that a shitty firewall is better...
Yeah, it's intentional. I keep the top bar available for often-used applications so I don't have to dig on a menu for them. Windows never cover...
Traffic shaping can make a difference regardless of user count. Really the key factors are how much bandwidth is being utilized and how many...
Yup, "free RAM is wasted RAM" as I always say. But there's a big difference between RAM that's being used for applications, and RAM used for...
I dunno about that last part. I used to try to run network audits through an office grade hardware SPI firewall. While a PC with a half decent...
BSD is included in the generic *nix connotation, as in "Linux/UNIX". But to answer your question, BSD firewalls are also good. A few noteworthy...
Smoothwall is crippled unless you buy a commercial license. IPCop is the 100% open-source branch of Smoothwall by some of the original developers.
Definitely never seen that before. If it makes you feel any better though, *ubuntu won't even boot on my laptop, let alone install. Debian works...
Separate names with a comma.
