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