[TriLUG] Best appliance for Linux firewall?

[Dwain Sims]

A comment and a question.

1. It sounds like 2 or 3 of you (maybe more) could put your heads together
and come up with a great Trilug talk on homegrown firewalls.  I would
really like to hear more about this whole topic, and it is apparent there
is a lot of knowledge about this subject in the group.

2. Now the question.  What in the world is a "binary blob" and why is it a
bad thing?  Do I have one of these in my house and not know it?


Thanks

Dwain
