SNF - Single Network Firewall. it's a firewall solution for small networks
based on Mandrake 7.2. it indeed users 2.2.19 kernel in the "secured"
version (I guess that's the reason Mandrake hasn't release a new SNF
version - they didn't got the 2.4 "hardened" or "secured" or whatever, yet).
it does not support DMZ, but has Bastille and some other neat stuff.

You're guess is probably as good as mine :-) I don't know when RH will
expose rosewell, but Mandrake had Raklet Beta3 out 10 days ago, and my guess
is that you'll be able to get the official cheese within a month. I'm
willing to bet it'll be sometimes around the end of September, start of
October.
