You guys are awesome!
we used to run a DSL (like the kind I got at home) with 15 computers.
it was slow, the network guys were kind of lame. now we might get a
t1. so, im thinking we can get a router and put that iinto the switch,
and then route all the other 15 computers through the router.
then, im thinking, we can run steady state (free windows download) to
limit what students can access form each of the individual comptuers.
so, the question at hand - do we need to make that firewall/router
computer linux?
can we or should we run it on windows?
I love that idea of saying, "these sites are ok. anything new is not
ok."
