Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] competitor: SuSE Linux Firewall on CD

[Friedrich L. <fl...@fl...>]

From reading the article I conclude the following.

The similarities:
 * boots from CD
 * config is stored on CD
 * minimum 64 MB ram
 * configuartion is created externaly of the firewall
 * /etc is kept on the floppy and is copied into
   the ramdisk


The differences:
 * most of the executables are kept on the CD and are just
   symlinked into the ramdisk (optional for future DL)
 * /root and  /sbin are kept on the floppy and are copied into
   the ramdisk
 * /var is optionally kept on a harddisk
 * FAS = Firewall Administration System(client-server), configuration
   software that runs on an admin host, might be on the firewall in
   the future because of the client-server nature


For future details I reference the article.
