I initially posted this msg in the OS forum.... but I think I might have better luck with it here...

Finally got coyote linux running as a router on my server PC... but I still have a couple of questions...

How secure is Coyote Linux? Will hackers be able to get into my internal LAN?

I want to leave my harddrive in the PC just in case... hackers won't be able to access it though because the HD is not even mounted, right?

I ran a scan at grc.com, and all the ports are repored as "closed"... is there any way to configure coyote linux so that all the ports are stealth?

Thanks!

That is a good question as I get was wondering the same thing using Freesco. I think it is still very secure because there is nothing really on the router to get into. But I also would like to know the answer for sure about this.
