Bootable firewalls (was: RE: [suse-security] Windows versus linux)

I think it's a waste of time to discuss Windows vs. Linux anyway. The outcome always depends on who you are talking to. So i agree, please take the who-is-best discussion offline and let's start to talk about firewalls again. What is the best "bootable floppy" or "bootable CD" firewall out there? Cheers, Ton.

Security and linux is a very new theme for me. Last time a read a german written article of Microsoft about linux versus windows systems (security, costs, firewalls, ..). Now I want some feedbacks/arguments of interested professional linux users and their experience maybe in companies versus the Microsoft opinion in this *.pdf (1,4MB) file.

It would be nice to get some answers.

Maybe, but this topic, and the answers, don't belong on the SuSE Security list. comp.os.<x>.advocacy comes to mind.
