All, Just got a new SuSE 7.1 linux box up and running that I plan on using as a firewall (to replace my current Linksys BEFSR41). I need more configurability than the Linksys provides! I just got the box up and running on SuSE 7.1, and took a good number of SuSE patches thru Yast. I am currently running the minimum install with packages added. My next step is to install iptables and recompile my kernel so I can use em! I checked, and it looks like 2.4.16 is the latest up on many of the mirror sites. Anyone have any suggestions on what kernel I should run? In a perfect world, 16 would be the answer (latest greatest), but that isn't always so! Any suggestions?

actually 2.4.17 (latest build/source is from Jan 18) is available from Mantel's subdirectory. I am running it at the moment and in some way it feels better than 2.4.16 (i.e more responsive and a bit faster) Cheers, Sergei -- "The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy ... neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water."
anyone have problems building the new vmware modules for the 2.4.17 kernel?
anyone built them?

I have not followed this thread, and I am quite sure what "new" modules you have in mind. FWIW I run vanilla 2.4.17 with vmware 2.0.4 and Petr Vandrovic's patches. I have no trouble compiling and running vmwware. Regards, Geoff _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
