The only thing the commercial boxes have going for them is they are getting so cheap ($30-$80) that those too busy to learn can still use them.
But "too busy to learn" does not sound like a LInux user.
Me, I'm not too busy to learn. Heck, I run a SuSE firewall at home. But, would you buy "wanting an extra layer of protection" as a valid reason for wanting a hardware firewall? That's why I'm looking for one, myself. Geordon

Sure, that sounds reasonable. Just remember to be safe and put the hardware firewall BEHIND the SuSE box. <g>. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
