Linuxd firewall distro for Windows People

["Flood Randy Capt AFCA/TCAA" <Randy.Flood@scott.af.mil>]

By the way, if you have any friends who are primarily Windows poeple (why would they be your firends?), but want to set up a Linux firewall, I'd recomend:
Cyote Linux ( http://www.dalantech.com/coyote.shtml ).  They have a Windows Disk Creator program that allows you to generate a Linux boot floppy with all the appropriate firewall configuration stuff using a wizard-like interface.  See pictures here: http://www.dalantech.com/coyote-win.shtml 

Ofcourse, we know *you* would never do this.  You would just type all the binary for the floppy into dd, or edit the floppy directly using edline or something.  But, you might have a friend who is less proficient at Linux that this will enable to easily use a Linux-based firewall.

Go with Gentoo if you're enterprising enough.  I've found it rather decent for 
a desktop distro and a server distro, so firewalling with it ought to be rather 
trivial.  Also, that 1.3G disk ought to fit real well into things.
