[Lug-nuts] Re: list still working

Thanks Brian! I've been looking around at Linux distros. I'm a bit hesitant to mention it because it seems to often start a flame war. :) I was feeling like Fedora was getting a little bit flakey, and I also was looking for something to just use as a firewall. Well, specifically, I thought the Fedora firewall configuration was designed to be intentionally confusing and difficult so that you would have, or want, to hire someone to really do it right. iptables, nftables, and firewalld. Docs are often outright wrong. firewalld and nftables conflict. If I didn't have a fair amount of experience with iptables already, I'd never have figured it out. I went out to DistroWatch. There is some interesting stuff there. Most of the stuff had significant issues. They list MX Linux as the most active, so I thought I would give that a try. The basic system seems to work. But the Firefox browser crashes immediately. I did some quick looking around, but I haven't found out why yet. It's just sad. I thought it would be nice to find a little distro that uses IPV to boot and iptables as the firewall. And that might be supported, more or less. nft supposedly does more, but it is actually set up to pretty much do what iptables did. And, for example, you have to set up counters on everything individually and they are set up by default on iptables: see my comment above. -Gary On Mon, Sep 26, 2022 at 09:55:15AM -0700, Brian E.
