I have been using it at home for several years now - very happy with it, I have scanned
it with Nessus, seems pretty secure - used it at the previous company I worked for because
they were too cheap to buy a firewall - I have also installed it at some small bus. customers
I help on the side AND I have one sitting at my co-location in case my PIX craps!


At the last company I referred to, the network was about 50 - 60 moderate traffic users
and heavy ftp and e-mail usage, ran it on a PII 266Mhz box with 384Mb RAM, never
even hiccuped.



Has anyone used Smoothwall? I'm building a new firewall, and I was
considering using Smoothwall versus IPCop. I was hoping that someone had
used it and could give me an opinion.

TIA
