[olug] Smoothwall questions.

[Mike Peterson]

Coyote makes a good firewall, router, with DHCP and ssh optional.
It runs off of a write protected floppy to boot and totally in RAM.
You only need to unprotect the floppy if you change something and want to
save the changes.
No HD to go bad.
Works great.
