clarkconnect is an os based on linux.

i am running one now as a firewall/router/intrusion detector. i've used it since version 0.70. i won't gp on the net without it.

[deathwarder]

does it slow do dl/ul speeds?

[deathwarder]

also, is it possible to set up this computer without a monitor, then vnc into it to change settings?

Edit your posts instead of posting a new one.

Read their website ...

Peripherals

Mouse Not required

Monitor and Keyboard Required for installation only

All the information you may need about it, is there.

To answer your question: Yes

You can't use VNC but you can login using your browser (HTTP). Pretty much like you would do with a SOHO router.

theres an edit button? Oh I see it, thanks, and thanks again for the help

Firewall = Yes.

Antivirus = No

D00D! Don't shoot him down like that. o_O

The solution here is to make your old box into a server.

I have made mine into:

Network Gateway

DHCP Server

Domain Controller

Exchange Server

FTP Server

SAV CE10 Primary Server

Terminal Server

Unreal Tournament Server

Web Server

Wheel of Time Server

The list goes on and on...

My hardware?

AMD K6-2/300

ASUS P5A-B

384MB PC133

ATi Magnum 16MB 2X AGP

19GB Codename Corona

All that sexy power on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise.

I wish I could find a 550. Then I could install SQL Express and really watch things fly.
