Quake3World

Here's something worth a look, an unbreakable OS based on openBSD. It's mounted read-only with the benefit of pptp vpn, and a caching nameserver.

That's rhetoric.

Excuse me? There's no rhetoric involved. If a system is connected to a network it is breakable...period. It doesn't matter who the vendor is (Microsoft, Sun, Novell, a Linux distro, whoever), software is never perfect.

On another note if you feel like stepping up why don't you go and post a response to the browser thread in GD.

Corruptable in memory, not corruptable across a quick reload.

Hence we come down to semantics I guess.

the only safe computer is one that's unplugged and stacked in a warehouse.

btw, nice find Undies.

Humour?

The point was coming into one of the serious forums and posting flames/trolls results in a load of shit for other people to step around or clear up. Admin.

Get fucked.

BAck on topic,

How does this compare with Smoothewall?

back on topic:

that's a good question. i'm more interested in the live cd bit for a dedicated box sans hdd.

Humm, that might make it interesting,

*looks at old celeron box *
Humm
*looks at Linksys router*

Bah, its not worth it. :/

not worth what? tossing in a cd, rebooting, and configuring to taste? :\

i'ma try on a p166 i have in the garage

Give us an update when you get her running.

smoothwall derives itself from linux, this is an openbsd deployment. OpenBSD is known for its rock-solid security whereas linux runs neck and neck with MS for the most exploits in a single distro.
By unbreakable, I mean no known exploits for BSD in over 3 years, which is a relative use of the term, I suppose. Add that to a read-only hard disk-less system, and in my opinion, it's harder than a nokia-based checkpoint firewall. Cisco PIX would be debatable, but as we all know a firewall is only as hard as it's underlying OS.

Hummm, i dident know that linux was tied with them.. i know certan distro's are Fucked out out of there mind once installed. ( *cough* mandrake *cough* )

Hummm,
i might need to look into BSD now

thanks for the heads up Underpants, my lack of knowlage of Other O/s's is a little aparent

oops
