Hello,

I would like to set up a firewall to protect a small company network. What
I would like to have is some kind of VPN solution (OpenVPN and ipsec),
iptables firewalling and a secure distribution with some additional
sec-related sofware (tripwire etc.). Also I need to run an Apache for
proxy-requests.


My question is, which distribution to choose for such a
setup. I would prefer a standard distribution for easy updates and
community support. A specific "security-enhanced" distribution would do it
also, if it is not too "pure" :)

Any suggestions?

Regards
Jochen

Hi Jochen,

I suggest to have a look on Adamantix. It's a Debian-based, security-enhancend distribution. It's only as pure as a basic Debian.
Just visit www.adamantix.org and let them show you why Adamantix can convince you. I was very impressed and after some month having a Adamantix box running, I'm convinced about its security and stability.


Just my two cents.

Regards, Christian
