Gary,


A nice feature of RedHat Linux 7.1 is the build in ip-chains firewall.
You can configure it at the installation. Changes afterwards are done by
the setup programm.

As mentioned in another reply www.linux.org has a long list of
distributions, some are specially designed for firewalling.

At our company we have good experience with RedHat. With a bought
distribution, you'll get a few month of free support, with downloaded
ones you'll need to pay for the support afterwards.


Regards,


Jan Gerrit Kootstra
