Is it wise to use Linux as a "mission important" firewall?
In the future, I'll creating a small network where, if the
internal machines were to be comprimised, it wouldn't hurt
anything, and there'd be nothing to gain (no credit card #s
for example) by the cracker, it would just irritate me. I
ask because I have no real experience in the world of Internet
security, maybe it's taboo to use Linux as an important
firewall and one should always use a big $$$ hardware solution,
I don't know.

Thanks a lot,
Daniel
