Well, I'm running X. I'm a home user and the "server" it's also my PC so I have to use it. I'm also running xscreensaver and aMule (this one all the time). Maybe this is bad!!!
Er, yeah, this is bad. A firewall machine for a home really does not need much power. You can go buy a crappy old computer and make it be your firewall, and keep the good one for your workstation. I actually do run X on my gateway, but only because I like the GUI tools like YaST. To make it safe(er), I have carefully ensured that all of X is not talking to the network. AppArmor makes this a bit easier :) Crispin -- Crispin Cowan, Ph.D. http://crispincowan.com/~crispin/ Director of Software Engineering, Novell http://novell.com
