Fw: [FW1] NT server or NT workstation as Operating System ?

["Oliver Bogen" <fw1@FW1-NOSPAMaon.at>]

 there is no need to run the Checkpoint on a NT Server because the
 Checkpoint
  won't use any server features

  exept you want to run Software Mirroring for your Harddisk

  I don't think that there is any preformance difference between Workstation
  and Server because if you install the

  NT Box a secure way, you only install the NIC driver and the TCP-IP stack

  but I in your case would prefer Linux for you Checkpoint install.
