If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Theres no firewal on the list. Can anyone suggest me a good free firewall?

Take a look at that list.  I can't find a Free (Open Source) firewall that stands out, though.

Thanks! This should certainly work better than the zone alarm crap program I'm running.

BMW, I use the Comodo Firewall, which is free and not bad.  I think Zone Labs are widely considered to be the best firewall but I haven't got around to installing that yet.

if you have a spare old pc lying around smoothwall turns it into a shit hot H/Ware firewall. I used to be bulletproof behind mine.

That article that S,TM put up suggests that that is no longer the case, at least for the freeware. And I've heard from multiple people that Zone Alarm is crap. Im running Kerio now, seems to be working quite well.

And that Keynote program sounds interesting...wonder if it would be good for student notes as well.

Hmm.  I used Kiero, but didn't like it.  I found Comodo much better than that.

Really? Is it hard to set up?

My mate did it for me but it looked fairly straightforward. Easy as hell to administer through http

Word of advice make sure your NICs are on the approved list - winmodems didn't used to work with linux - prolly still the same nowadays.
