    Hello all,

    I have to put forward an argument to management regarding setting up a
    firewall on some of our clients networks.

    What are the advantages of a linux firewall over something like Windows
    with WinRoute on it, or even a hardware based firewall. What are the
    disadvantages etc. I know I am asking on a linux users mailing list, but
    I would also like reply's not to be too bias.

    Thanks
    Andre
