[LUNI] CDROM based firewalls: Sentry & Redwall

[Carey Tyler Schug]

I found a site listing many Linux/BSD firewalls:

Aside: this is the first I have seen of BSD based firewalls, any general 
thoughts on using BSD vs Linux?  Maybe, like Linux vs MicroSoft(TM), 
fewer crackers trying to break into BSD based systems than Linux based 
systems?

I couldn't follow much of the jargon, but I found two that look like 
they are ready to go for cdrom/floppy systems (no hard disk). I would 
have like the Knoppix based system but it one looked like it was just a 
bunch of tools and wasn't "run it out of the box", and the one called 
CD-ROM firewall was only beta, with no releases for a year and a half..

The two that seemed the most interesting were:

Sentry:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/sentry/

Redwall: http://sourceforge.net/projects/redwall/
