In the process of setting up another box i picked up to become my new gateway. After much hunting down I've decided to go with the Mandrake Linux distribution. Reason being, i found some good doco that will walk me through the process of setting it up securly step by step. It's already been fun. Took me several hours to work out why the iso's i pulled down, didn't want to work. DAmn Nero, you would think burning an iso would be simple.
Got it going though once i pulled down this little ISO Recorder Power Toy for Windows XP. It adds a "copy image to cd" item to the right click menu of XP's built-in CD recording functions - very quick and easy to use.
Shall keep you posted on my progress. Any handy hints will be greatly appreciated. The fun bit has yet to come. Trying to get a second USB NIC running properly on Linux.
