What kind of PC configuration would you recommend for an internet gateway / firewall?
1) Pentium or 486DX with two free PCI slots (only needs 8 or 16MB RAM) 2) Two PCI NIC's, such as Linksys or Kingston (tulip clones) 3) 1.44MB 3.5" Floppy drive (no hard disk or CD-ROM) 4) Coyote Linux (http://www.coyotelinux.com) and a running Linux PC to run
I would up it to a Pentium 90 or better if you can , and you will want a cdrom for the install (you canborough on from another system). The install on a pentium is much faster , so if you are short on time , spend another $20.00 for the lower end pentuims. The time you save you could use setting up the system. 486 will work fine , and the lowerer end P90 and better cpus are realy starting to show up realy cheap now. If you go the 486 , most do not have pci slots , while most pentuim systems do have pci slots . At 02:22 AM 5/28/2000 -0500, Jon Pennington wrote: the
