Re: FW-1 throughput question

["Shaun Moran" <Shaun () TheMorans Com>]

Check Point Firewall-1 V4.1 Sp1 (Aka Check Point 2000) support RedHat Linux
6.1 (Intel) with RPM binaries on the CP2000 CD.

Installed - works fine - just be careful of kernel versions.

The idea is that the Linux version of FW-1 replaces the Solaris x86 version.
Good move IMHO.
