I was a bit bored today so i looked around for a new defiance.
In my network are running some gentoo machines.
A desktop machine - gentoo/xfree/fluxbox
Servers - file server/router/shoutcast/squid/etc

tell me about your favourite distros/apps/servers and so on...

Running vector linux on my 64mb ram p3 600mhz with icewm and it works faster than windows 98 and ofcourse much better than that :D . Vector is made from slackware so always good performance.

Running fedora 2 on on 500 mhz laptop and a 400 mhz desktop. The machines are still running faster than I'm learning :angry:

Because WindowsXP on a 300mhz-500mhz PC is pretty sluggish. I have linux running on a Pentium1 133 as my home firewall.

ok a hardware firewall is a suggestion, but i already have one in my router :)

go on guys *G*

This might be something you may be interested in. You can put it in a DMZ and see whats going on. Depending on where your at you may want to include a banner just for safety's sake.

HoneyD or you can try the Honey D Linux ToolKit. You may also want to look at Labrea Tar Pit

If your interested in playing with IDS, you may want to look at Prelude IDS

Just some ideas for you.

Make it as gateway and intall some good firewall distro on it like ipcop or smoothwall or any other.

[KuerbY]

i dont like hardware routers/firewalls
i want to feel free and want to decide which kernel etc

i forgot my sweet laptop gentoo/fluxbox/kismet and everything you need when you dont have access to the internet ;)

to monitor my boxes i use cacti ( http://www.cacti.net )

kuerby@freyja kuerby $ uname -a
Linux freyja 2.6.7-hardened-r17 #1 Sun Jan 2 06:48:02 GMT 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

gentoo all the way && hardened all the way ;D

[buzzons]

Gentoo on a dual P3 866
Suse on a P2 400 dell CPt laptop
OpenBSD as a firewall (behind a router)

and as KuerbY said gentoo all teh way!

[buzzons]

Screwing around on, learning the command interface, as an attack victim, attempting to load software before you load it on the "good" box.
