IPCop 0.1.1 Review
·
· Score: 3, Informative
I just installed IPCop this afternoon. Coincidentally, I saw this news story show up on slashdot the same time I was burning the CD-ROM.
So far, I am impressed.
The securityfocus review is very lacking, and very disappointing in content to be coming from a "security" site.
The IPCop installation was very simple and straightforward. The only hiccup was getting my ISA NICs to work.. I had to use a setup floppy to set the IO address, and manually load the driver "ne io=0x220".
The DMZ feature is very cool, and it looks like you can run IPSec out of the box.
The web interface is very slick. This interface is what separates it from a stock RedHat distribution with some custom iptables rules. Previously I was running a floppy-based distro for my firewall (BBIagent). I like IPCop better because it has SSH support, an update system, and I can log in to the console and 'do stuff'.
Anyone know where they got the name "cisco" from?
I was guessing Computer Information Systems COmpany, or it could have just been as simple as crisco spelled incorrectly.
Am I the only one who is enraged? Neustar sucks! Look at what they did with.BIZ - just a new hyped up domain so they can bring in loads of money for companies scrambling to protect their trade name.
The.US domain has been used for years without problems. I don't see why the Dept of Commerce needed to hand this over to Neustar. Neustar is going to be charging and making ungodly sums of money.
The United States is a LARGE, well-connected country. It is NOT practical to give 2nd-level domains (joeblow.us) out to the public. The system of org.locality.state.us is much more fair as there will be less disputes. Granted, companies and organizations that span more than one locality or state should be allowed to have lower-level (3rd or maybe 2nd) domains.
I emailed Neustar (that is the stupidest name of a company I have ever heard) last week about some of these issues I am concerned about, and never received a response.
One thing to consider is that when using low-end hardware for X terms (lets say ~ Pentium 120 with an upgraded video card, and 32MB system RAM), you can afford to stock an inventory in-house of a spare machine for every live working machine. This would be necessary, since a lot of non-major-brands are cheap as shit, the bearings in the fans go out, etc. But these PC's can easily be imaged from the same images, unliked Windows that has problems when you swap images between different but similiar PCs.
I've never figured out how to get sound to work on an X terminal, since the "Application Server" wants to play sound out/dev/dsp0 or whatever local device.
Thinnet sucks to support users. Thinnet should only be used where people can't touch/kick it. I would go for switched 10baseT over cat5, for 100-mbit upgradability.
If anyone has gotten sound to work on an X terminal, please contact me, let me know how
Microsoft did more damage than what Caldera is talking about with this trial. First of all, Caldera was never really hurt. Caldera bought DR-DOS in 1996 (from Novell, which had gotten it from Digital Research. While Novell owned it, it was called Novell DOS), and the DAY AFTER Caldera bought it, they launched this lawsuit against Microsoft. Kind of ironic, dont you think?
Also, The main reason Digital Research or Caldera has to be mad at Microsoft, is that Microsoft ripped them off to begin with. In the 70's, Digital Research made CP/M which was used by Microsoft, and was the most popular OS of the time. In 1981 when IBM was starting their PC, they couldn't get DR to make an OS for it, so Microsoft said they would make an OS for IBM. IBM's PC had a 16-bit processor, while CP/M was only an 8 bit OS, that was the problem. Microsoft bought QDOS (quick and dirty OS) from a small company in Seattle. QDOS was only a rip off clone of CP/M which could run on 16-bit processors. Microsoft then called it Disk OS, (the name DOS was also used by IBM internally in the 70s) and gave PC-DOS to IBM royalty-free. Microsoft then made money by licensing MS-DOS to IBM clone makers.
DR-DOS was made after PC boom by Digital Research to try to gain some of the marketshare which was rightfully theirs to begin with.
MS-DOS was only an unauthorized clone of CP/M adapted to run on 16-bit processors
So, I think Caldera should be concentrating on how Microsoft sold "their" DOS.

well yeah, but you'd also need to pay the electric bill :(
