If you actually get the filter up and running, would you mind letting me know? I'm a student here at Univ. of Maine Farmington, working for ResNet. The network admins got really sick of one or two people out of 2000 using 60% or so of the bandwith. Not that i blame them, we only have a fractional T1. This has stopped all the non-technical students from using it, but a good portion are still using it. Killing the napster protocol itself is the best solution.. maybe then we'll get to play some network games again over the internet. As of Monday, port 27015 was blocked incoming and outgoing... default server port for half-life. *sigh* there goes my stress relief. At any rate, my email address is ericw@nowonder.com.. Thanks in advance. ericw. "Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle and quick to anger."
I actually just went back to rh6.1 from mandrake7.0, but just for one reason. the custom mandrake kernels shipped w/ 7.0 are not compatible with OSS (http://www.opensound.com), which i use for my soundblaster live x-gamer. Sure, it works with built-in support, but sounds like an old SB16 WaveFx card from Wal-Mart. I will agree that mandrake surpasses redhat in some respects. The gui install is vay-swee, not to mention that Mandrake Updates utility it comes with, where redhat6.1's similar program is only available for those who buy the software and get access to ftp://priority.redhat.com I'd definitely like to see what's/diff in 6.2 though.
