PIX is old, who cares if it can be replaced by a linux box. Not every organization has the skillset to support and develop opensource network appliances. Its great that some places can do it and they save money, but its not for everyone. Can a homegrown linux box firewall replicate all the features of an ASA such as active/active failover, mutiple contexts, full VPN cababilities, IPS, etc? Can it have the throughput of a FWSM?
Wow, you're getting mauled for telling a simple truth. Just because the government "gives" you a service, that does not mean that it didn't cost you something.
It's so weird to see my city named in Digg :)However, some info should be added: not the entire city has wi-fi coverage, only downtown.If you want more info about the city, you can go to the official page: <a class="user" href="http://www.rosario.gov.ar">http://www.rosario.gov.ar</a>
Because you are all lauding it as a success when the truth is that it is a disaster. If I were you, I would have buried it as inaccurate at the least. If any MS people lauded a pittiful rendition of a wireless network like this, you would have ripped them apart. It goes two ways, or do you feel that is unfair somehow?
