Two different platforms, different firewalls, mean that no single attack vector can be used on both of them. I wouldn't recommend the BEFSR41 line, though. Get a WRT54G/WRT54GL and load either Tomato or DD-WRT. Much more capable than the native firmware, and free to boot.

That's effectively what you're doing with the free firmware on commercial firewalls, without the need to maintain another full OS and usually in a very much smaller physical package. $0.02, YMMV, etc. Cheers, -- Dave Ihnat dihnat@xxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
