[NTLUG:Discuss] netmax

[Chris Cox]

We've given the package away before (donated from them).
It's essentially a basic linux configuration (like
a stripped down eval) with some web interfaces wrapped
around the tools.  If you are comfortable configuring
things without the web interface, there is not much
value add.  However, getting all of the software, including
VPN (e.g. FreeS/WAN) setup can be a tedious process (you
have to do kernel patches generally.. at least in 2.0 and 2.2).

To me, if you want a package solution, get a packaged
firewall.  If you want to have fun doing it all in Linux,
learn all of it... don't depend on some nifty admin tool.

Regards,
Chris
