Redhat linux

[thatdarncat]

I don't want to get into any arguements over distro's

I'm just wondering if anyone has a link to a lower traffic download site for the ISOs than those on the main redhat page.

You can try http://linuxiso.org/ thatdarncat it is the only one have marked at this time rpmfind page may carry them to.

I found a couple of decent .edu mirrors in the states after a little search. All downloaded now, thanks!

Redhat is nice. Have you ever played with SuSE Linux? Its a very solid distro as well, and my favorite. I do server support for a state hospital and administer some Blade servers with Redhat, which run quite nicely as well.

I haven't played with SuSE yet. This is for a router. Our current router is a SMC Barricade router. I don't know if you have any experience with them, but they do not support port forwarding or DMZ Host capability. Or rather, they claim to do so, but in practice do not. The computer I am writing this from currently is set as a DMZ host, but is not receiving the forwarded tcp requests.

what about mandrakes new MNF package? I LOVE mandrake, it's so painfully simple and easy even me, a linux n00b, can set it up and use it for their main workstation...

Well, I'm a programmer, not a network guy...but why would you need to forward tcp to the DMZ host?

I ask because I have a Barricade and tcp forwarding works fine (to hosts behind the firewall). If I wanted to expose a service to the public, I'd use either tcp forwarding or DMZ host, but not both. Am I missing something (probably)?

Odd, what model router do you have? We've been unable to get port forwarding to work - DMZ Host was our last resort.

I'll check the model number when I get home, but it's your standard non-wireless 4-port Cable/DSL Router.

I had a debian box behind the firewall with http and ssh forwarded, and no problems. Then again, SMC doesn't exactly have a reputation for great products, so I wouldn't be surprised if yours crapped out. I only bought it because CompUSA had a rebate deal going on.
