Thanks.
Per your suggestion, I read up a bit on IPCop. It
looks like it is a complete distribution, is that
right? So it does not have to be installed "on top
of" Fedora, or Debian, or whatever?
My immediate need is for filtering spyware on a
network that already has a firewall (and some custom
configuration has already been done to allow certain
services). IPCop says it's a firewall, so I guess
I'll have to choose to use one or the other. Since
this is the case, would I be better off running a
plain linux install with no firewall and run
Dansguardian?
