[NTLUG:Discuss] OT: Fry's

[Paul Drew]

I have been using GQ for years now with no problems burning or reading from 
them. :)

Speaking of Burning CD's can anyone point me in the direction of burning 
CD's in Linux? (RedHat,Mandrake,etc)

In another note, I have heard you guys talking about a distro called 
"Shorewall". I have a little old p166 with 64mb ram which I was looking to 
make a firewall or something with. I was just looking to tinker really with 
something text based, and a way to get more experience under my belt. I hate 
to toss out a perfectly fine little machine I have had with me forever. :)

Thanks, and I am sorry for being off topic, I just started thinking, and 
writing.
