The only time X Windows runs is when you manually run it. It's installed but the firewall runs in runlevel 3 until you manually run vncserver. The reason that I chose to include X Windows in it is that some people may be administering the firewall ruleset from a Windows machine. The Windows version of Firewall Builder is a "for pay" application. This allows someone from a Windows machine to administer it without having to pay for the Windows Firewall Builder application. I, too, would prefer not to have X Windows loaded. It's an un-needed waste of space except for that one application. > I guess that people that share their documents or resources are always > welcome, and we don't have to ficht with them about the way they go. > > Peace, > > > Jim Perrin wrote: > > On 6/6/07, pctech at mybellybutton.com <pctech at mybellybutton.com> wrote: > > > >> Just because someone doesn't like the way I distribute it doesn't > >> mean that they have the right to tell me what to do with it or how to > >> give it to people.
