    Greetings:

    I am looking for recommendations for firewall/router software for
    Debian. I have looked over several packages, but I feel swamped. I
    used an old Woody CD for very basic install, updated kernel and then
    upgraded the system to Sarge. All is working great, so far. Now I
    want to use this computer as a firewall to connect other computers in
    the house LAN to the internet (safely). I am no expert and firewall
    rules cause me to stagger in my chair, so I am looking for a package
    that will set good default rules for the LAN, yet can be tweaked if I
    get the urge to open a port for a game etc. Also, the system will be
    without keyboard/mouse/monitor, so I want to avoid instlling X on it.

    TIA

    Wishing you well.
