RE: SmoothWall-2.0

["Keith Bucknall (Promo-I.T LTD)" <keith.bucknall () promo-it co uk>]

Hi all

I have started to look into this, have installed at 1 office for the last 55
days without any issues. You have to keep up with updates, out of the box it
only uses a number of different Network cards so be careful.  The Smooth
wall website has all the details.

One section to check would the support forum and the Homebrew Threads there
are a lot of great free add ones and free utils such as bandwidth usage,
firewall add on's etc..

I have just recommended this for another two office installs and can not
fault the product, it also uses a flavour of Squid for the Web Proxy,
content filtering and Snort for IDS....
