Re: [FW-1] To FP3, or not to FP3, that is the question

Title: RE: [FW-1] To FP3, or not to FP3, that is the question
That works. Thanks.  Always go for the lastest release?
As long as the cutting edge is not the bleeding edge.  I
like to wait 'til you guys get them debugged for me. ; )

Hi Hal
I don't really know what to say...

Site 1:
        Main office 65 users, Secure platform FP2 3 NIC's (External, Internal, DMZ)
        No NAT, but loads of rules. Remote access SecureClient and all.
        VPN with London, encrypting both private and public IP-traffic
        No issues, speed ok, disaster recovery 1.5 hour. Faster with a preconfigured machine :-)

Site 2:
        London office, only 15 users, Secure platform FP3 two NIC's fairly simple setup.
        Using NAT, SecureClient, VPN with main office. Only two NIC's
        (they don't run any servers available apart from mail server... -Yeah I know, but budget and space...)
        No issues, Speed okay ".." disaster recovery 2 hours + (old server). faster with preconfigured machine :-)

They work together, I like the GUI for FP3 better, but apart from that I don't see a big difference, sure there is a lot of technical stuff but honestly the day to day stuff is the same...

I would go for FP3, always go for the latest release ;-)

Mvh.
Morten

I'm doing a new install and started out with FP2
because of some of the problems I've seen discussed
about 3.  What are some opinions about the two versions?
Any recommendations would be welcome.

Thanks,

Hal
