Yay for knoppix, that was the first Linux system I used.
Version 1.4
Used it on a old laptop that did not have any optical drive, It was USB only.

I do prefer to make it Debian way for myself, as I am the one in charge of updating and maintaining the system, but when it's a new come to linux, instead of indicating a rebuilt derivation, I prefer to keep as Debian as possible, so I see the post point, and will add a vote to sparkylinux for being as close as possible to Debian non-free and still offer a good quality software, even by that meaning installers for other software, it just make people life easier and keep Debian core robustness.
Do you guys recommend any debian direct derivation distro good for a firewall? I've been using opnsense i386 into an old dell server Pentium 4 with sucess, but wish to go Debian without loosing much time and effort on the task, as the machine is suffering from oldness..

Setting up IPtables is not difficult. I can do it. I used these instructions.Capitain_Jack wrote:Do you guys recommend any debian direct derivation distro good for a firewall?
Does your router have a built-in firewall? If so, set it to maximum security. That's the easiest protection.

"..OPNsense is open source, FreeBSD-based firewall and routing software developed by Deciso, a company in the Netherlands that makes hardware and sells support packages for OPNsense. It is a fork of pfSense, which in turn was forked from m0n0wall, which was built on FreeBSD.[2] It was launched in January 2015.[1] When m0n0wall closed down in February 2015 its creator, Manuel Kaspar, referred its developer community to OPNsense.[3].."

They have an html interface to config and manage it, that's what I seek, out of box, derivated directly from Debian, do you know any?

Is it a complete solution? With PPtP, IPSec and other things integrated an accessible by a browser based interface? Than no, you do not know what a opnsense type of firewall is...please, take a time to take a look before offering a partial solution.Wheelerof4te wrote:Capitain_Jack wrote:Sometimes, you have a windows head as boss of IT, and one thing taken into consideration is how many hours he'll need to pay for you to set up the firewall, and I love Debian, so....is literally seconds with a good connectionCode: Select all

I don't understand what you expect to accomplish by arguing each time an admin of DUF tries to instruct you about what is appropriate here and what is not. Do yourself a favour and try to learn how to operate so you won't always have to be corrected.
I've noticed your signature quote and I understand the ego that caused you to use it. I also noticed your first post in this thread started with a link to yesterday's thread which had to be locked, indicating to me that you didn't learn from it.
I don't think you are being pursued, I think you are being monitored, appropriately.
It's not too late to make useful contributions to DUF. If you are as knowledgeable as you stated in yesterday's post, you should be able to figure this out even though English isn't your first language.
I hope this helps you.
