system requirements
[please Cc: me with your replies]
Well, I've finally convinced my boss to take Linux seriously and get a
firewall (since the University I attend and work for, that shall remain
nameless, does not have one). She asked me a question that rather floored
me - if we get an older PC to just be a dedicated firewall machine, what
are the min. system requirements for it not to slow anything down? I
wasn't sure how to answer that, although I think pretty much anything
above a 486 with an acceptable amount of RAM will do...this will be for a
department, several NT servers, 2 Solaris boxes, other assorted stuff. Any
help, pointers, URLs, etc would be appreciated!
