You gotta be more specific than FW-1. FW-1 can run over a large number of OS. You can get FW-1 for WinNT, Solaris, Linux, BSD . Each has the strengths and weaknesses of the underlying OS. Also FW-1 can run on a large number of hardware platforms, PCI, Compact-PCI, Sparc, etc. Each has it's strengths and weaknesses.
I couldn't find the original for this in my inbox but the poster is wrong. For details on what platforms FW-1 is really supported on, see this document: http://www.checkpoint.com/products/downloads/firewall-1_datasheet.pdf Darren _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
