Re: [suse-security] Offtopic (maybe): Proposal for school network
<going into technical details> Proxy Fine. And now you make the proxy a Linux box running Squid http/ftp proxy. It's easy to set up, it's not Windows and therefore it's more secure.
Not Windows and therefore it's more secure? You wish... Neither Win or Linux is a secure- out-of-the-box OS. ThereŽs no such thing and if youŽre thinking youŽre safe just because youŽre using Linux then you got a lot of reading to do. /Thomas

I know that, and I think he meant that as a joke. I understand why Linux out-of-the-box isn't more secure than windows, but I know also that if I use Linux, I will have the chance to change everything to my needs and this enables me to get higher security (because I can make my OS more personal.). I really don't know much about squid and passive ftp, but there are a lot's of how-to's and tutorials outthere. I will just read them. Anyways, I think will just read and gain more knowlegde know, then try out the design for the network in real, and let you know how it worked. Be sure, I will come back with a lot of more questions, than now :-) I want to thank everybody for the great help. Thank You! If you have any more suggestions please feel free to email me them. Have a nice day, Christoph Pernsteiner
