Jolly Swagmans First Blog

Welcome to Jolly Swagmans Blogs,
Well I have been using Linux now for about 12 months and the more I do the more I like it, and Windows XP pro has been has been getting rather lonely, but I do still have to now then visit it as I,m afraid for my Digital Photographic work my canon printer still needs it, and of course the odd game that isn't supported by other OS's.

I fist was introduced to the Linux World via SmoothWall Firewall, a Firewall Distro based on Linux, and i must say one of the Worlds Best Firewall Systems.
I built the System from a disused Pentium 3 PC that I had just laying around collecting dust, so after reading up on some info, I came across while surfing the great WWW, I decided to put it into action.
Details to SmoothWall Express at SmoothWall.Org and forums are in the links list

I have been using Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 as my main Linux Distro, but started out with Fedora Core 6, and have dabbled into Foresight Linux, Puppy Linux, DSL and CentOS-5 server.
I have now nearly completed my Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 Server and I must say am very impressed with it so far.
