"Linux for Cowards -- Internet Edition"
Errata & Addenda

Due to technical difficulties, I was not able to show the slides for Firewalling & Opera. I had some rough notes and was able to remember most of what I wanted to say, but not everything. Here are the slides almost as I intended you to see them:

Linux Firewalls 1

In one word: Excellent

Runs well on older hardware
Easy to fit on a floppy or CD
Security is built-in
- Including remote access (remote administration)
Net Filtering is built into the kernel
Multiple ongoing firewall projects
- Google: ''linux firewall'' ...

Linux Firewalls 2

Downside:
Must learn (some) Linux Command Line Interface
- i.e. NO GUI

Upside:
Lots of help is available
- HLUG
- The Web

What is Opera?

Norwegian Adware Browser
''Fastest browser on earth''
Intensely cross-platform
- MS Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris, even cell phones
Extremely user friendly
Highly configurable
Full of Features
small

Opera Features

Some of my favorite Opera features

Easy font & color control
1 key magnification
Session saving
Simultaneous MDI & SDI
Rewind & Fast Forward
Tab Cycling & Switching
195 diverse, ready-made, free skins

Update: There are now 200 skins
