    What about Fedora bro........ Have u ever used it ?
    Fedora is up to date on software versions and hardware support but it needs quite a bit of 3rd party repositories for home/desktop usage. Also it doesnt have a central configuration/management center like Yast on Suse. So its a bit low on ease of use.

    In a Blackhole
    Please help me to solve this problem.

    I have a firewall+proxy+SMTP relay ina linux box.

    It has 2 NICs (LAN and WAN)

    I want to integrate another WAN interface to the same box.

    After that it's like
    eth0 --> LAN
    eth1 --> WAN1
    eth2 --> WAN2

    Further All traffic except email (SMTP+POP3) must go through WAN1 and other traffics must go through WAN2


    Anyone have done this in linux ???

    Please help

    Can be done with iproute2 and iptables.
    Since the exception is for WAN1, you'll have to use WAN2 as the default route for the system.
    For WAN1, you'll have to mark the packets for the destination ports (SMTP and POP3) and route them using WAN1. For this you'll have to use the iproute2.
    Google for policy based routing to get a better idea.

    i wanna try ubuntu. i got ubuntu 9.04 & zorin os 3. which is better to egin with??
    zorin is a customized version of Ubuntu so what you're really asking is , 'Ubuntu or custom Ubuntu' ?
    I'd say zorin as it seems to have wine out of the box for windows apps and has the look and feel of XP.
