Firewalls

aaargh. i have just bought a new pc and dont want to put it on the internet for obvious reasons. so i have decided to make a short tutorial about how to arm your system.
1) get some old pc, which isnt in use, and move all your files to cd or somthing similar, as the HDD will need to be formatted
2)download and burn the iso for smoothwall http://www.smoothwall.org/get/ and burn it to a cd
3) open the old pc and add a network card
4)start the old pc, after closing the case, and boot from cd.
5) install smoothwall with the RED seting
6)Install avast http://www.avast.com/ and zone alarm http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp?dc=56pus&ctry=GB&lang=en
and install them on the other pcs
7)link them all up, while off, with a network cable, then boot up
8)install your asdl modem on the smoothwall machine and you'r off!

I accept no responsibility for damage or corruption. Preform the above at your own risk, and only if you know how to use computers at an expert level!
