Sounds educated. Do you lock your car when you leave it at the railway station? I do because I don't want to keep around all the time. On the net may be confronted with the most terrible matter quite unrequested. I do protect my children until they are able to cross the street by their own. But still you're right, theoretically education would be the best way. > > >2.

I think parents sitting together with the children would be the best, wouldn't it? ;-) You know children (usually boys) starting early with TV, games etc. become typically not so smart tha other (mostly girls) because the "input" they got from that is only a fraction of what childrens brain was made for and needs. But it's not the place to discus here ;-) >I've got 1G, hope that's enough Have a lookmin task manager "performance" phyiscal RAM free" >>>>My winXP will only use one of the cores (I think). >>> >>> XP would use "SMP" with upto 2 CPU(core)s. >>> Have a look in taskmanager: You should see both cores there. >>> If not, you run the wrong kernel.

No P2P possible, no worm can sent its spam, nor DNS can be manipulted by a broken hosts on the client. But that's becoming to detailed for this list. I currently don't know if one ever made an image of IPcop for coLinux. and i don't know if the kernel would work. Rainer |

I looked at IPcop: Currently (1.4.18) it is running linux 2.4 so assume it would not work under the colinu 2.6 kernel OTHO: An attempt to use colinux as firewall is made here: http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/UsingCoLinuxAsAFirewall maybe harden, bastille, smothwall, or so makes configuring iptables easier.
