[NTLUG:Discuss] Cd based Proxy/Firewall (again)

[Paul Drew]

Howdy Guys,
For the life of me I can't find the archives or where I can search them. I 
am going to have to install about a dozen Linux based firewalls at various 
locations around the company soon. I remember reading about knoppix, and its 
ability to run a complete Linux distro from the CD. Server gets hacked, then 
you just reboot it. Replace later with new passwords, etc. I am wanting this 
functionality with its intended use as text only web proxy, and firewall for 
ultimate security.

I can't seem to find anything like that, but we discussed it here. Was that 
just conceptional or is there something out that I can use to accomplish 
this. I would appreciate any linkage, or help you guys can provide. I want 
to be able to build my configuration, burn it to a cd, and then be rocking, 
and rolling. I am soooo sorry to bring this up again, but I want to be smart 
with this. The execs' are pushing for just RedHat, but I think we can be 
smarter than that. Especialy after we were at the bad end of a root kit 
recently. Thanks again, have a great day, and take care.

Paul Drew
