Hi this is my first time posting on this list, just soaking up all the great
info. I own a Sonicwall, Tele3 and its great. You can add up to 5 users right
outta the box, you can upgrade the nodes packages to get more users, its easy
webbased configuration, have enough vpn tunnels for offsite work, and has
kept me from being hacked on my home (commercial) DSL networking running
about 4 servers. Very good support, and all the notifications of updates are
loaded on the web administration page. Recommend for the easy way out.
Building a linux box/ firewall I used slackware, and then used a system
hardening package from sastk.org. It works well, but no idea how easy it
would be for regular office users to configure or administer it!
There is my two cents. Thanks
