Re: How do I discover the X version I'm running? [further question]
OK, so I'm really using kernel 2.2.19, but...
I have been under the impression that the method of packet filtering/forwarding
changed from something called 'ipchains' in 2.2 to something called 'iptables'
in 2.4. I see that 'iptables' stuff has been added in various places to my
file system, and 'ipchains' stuff seems to have been clobbered. I would like
not to become too involved in network admin, but to fix my system I need to
rebuild some stuff. How can I determine if I should follow recipes for
'ipchains' or 'iptables' ? ( Or am I truly misinformed? )
