I have in mind to set up a packet filtering box using Linux.
Since we have (good enough) Sparc hardware and a quad ethernet board
installed, two questions arise:
1- is the linux for sparc firewall implementation the same as the linux for
intel one ?
2- do Sun quad ethernet driver exist in the sparc distribution ?
Thanks in advance.
