[WBEL-users] Bastille on Whitebox

I'm familiar with APF, great firewall. In fact, I have it running on a 
couple of servers myself. However, Bastille Linux is much more than a 
firewall, it provides user shell hardening, process/resources hardening 
and much much more. On top of that it gives you 2-3 paragraphs of 
explanation of what and why its doing it.

You can use it with APF if you want, just don't install the Bastille 
Firewall.
