Linux box vs black box
Hi everyone.
This is perhaps off topics, but I'm searching for external opinions
about firewalls ;
1 - a linux box with kernel 2.4.x and netfilter/NAT
2 - a linux box with a commercial firewall product
3 - an integrated firewall you don't know much about what it is made of
For my own, I prefer the first one, as it doesn't need any additionnal
software, and if a problem occurs, I can rebuild it from scratch.
I never used the 3rd one, and I don't like it cause I like to know
what's in a box and have total-control over it.
Please, tell me your opinions.
