A new blogger to the Linux Security space (he switched months ago), the owner of Fsckin w/linux took a trip to test Firewalls and Linux. From IPCop to Smoothwall to the 8MB Monowall, he compares and contrasts the value of each platform - but with a catch.

* 192MB of RAM
* 1GB Transcend disk-on-chip IDE module
* Dual 100Mbps NICs
