Hmm, i don't know what you are talking about: there is an antivirus product based on Linux (that is: a bootable CD with a Live sysstem with some antivirus software), which is called Knoppix. You can freely download it, but it is not scanning online. It is designed to boot up a system from a non-compromisable source (CD) and scan it.

Probably you mean some firewall with so-called "stateful inspection". Basically it is decoding the datastreams it routes and allows/forbids certain things based on rules. While a normal firewall would, for instance, allow telnet sessions to a certain host a stateful-inspection firewall would be able to allow telnet to this host, but forbid a certain command to be issued.

Was wondering if this lil processor could handle the firewall with a squid proxy server and router. Coz this is what I understand would be a great setup...
Probably it would, because - depending on the amount of IP traffic - the tax on the processor is pretty small. Every firewall, btw., is already a router, since a firewall works on Layer 4, while a router works on Layer 3.

Have fun building this and be sure to tell us what finally worked and what you did to make it work.
