Features Main features: - Kernel 2.6.x
- Configuration is currenty stored on a floppy/USB Memory Stick/Harddrive or sent by email
- Due the fact, that most reporting functionality is done via mysql (except for the squid reports), it's possible to use the cd as a Mangagement/Logging Console for other firewalls running in your environment using the same cd! Take snort for instance.. you can have 10 firewalls :) running snort, reporting back to the main database on the management/Logging system, in order to have a central "overview" of all your firewalls... Using the SAME CD !! It's all up to you how you configure your firewall and/or Management box !
- based on gentoo
- bridging support
- Mail Virusscanning, spamfiltering and gateway functionality
- /etc is writable (tmpfs) feeded by the configuration medium
- /var is writable (ramdisk or harddisk) (you are not going to run squid on a ramdisk... aren't you ?)
- The cd will (at least it should) detect all your network cards during the initial boot
A complete list of features and Versions can be found here.
A Changelog is also available here for you to review.
