I am sure that you get a lot of these types of questions so here goes. I am completely new to Unix. I downloaded your software and had no trouble installing it. My question is, now that I have this stuff installed what do I do with it? In other words I realize that the free bsd will act as a firewall but other than that I don't know what to do with it. I have been looking at your manual a little bit but am not very confident in myself in regards to this type of stuff. I know this is very broad but do you get where I'am going? Please respond to mailto:bryhartline@hotmail.com 

PS..

This was extremely easy to install, it basically took care of itself and one other question. I went to two different sites to check my security after I installed this. The first site said my security wasd poor. It was able to open up my C drive, it was at http://www.robrob8.com/online_security.htm. The second one gave me a great report and stated that my security was very good and it was at http://grc.com/. Any suggestions? I am eager to learn a little more about the Unix environment!

Thank you very much!
