gufw on AntiX.

[Member ARSManiac]

Hi.
I use AntiX specially for very old machines, i recentely installed AntiX on an old Asus Eee Pc Intel Atom 1.6 GHz 2GB RAM (32 bits) and works perfect!
I have a little question, I want to use gufw on AntiX, on Synaptic i have two options: gufw and gufw legacy, which one should i use? Is there any problems with it?
I heard that ufw and gufw had some issues in previous versions of AntiX (i thinks was related with the version of the Kernel you have installed) and i want to know the right way to work with it.

Hi ARSManiac. Welcome to the forum.

I’m sorry, but I don’t know the difference between the two.

Are you just going to turn it on & forget it? If so, just run this in the terminal:
sudo ufw enable
It should be installed already, and works the same (after enabled – and not booting live with parameter “disable=x”).

HTH 🙂

confirmed antiX frugaler, since 2019

Hi Arsmaniac,
personaly never had issues with UFW, or gufw. The graphical interface gufw is no longer included in antiX so if you want
to play with it best to install on a live stick first. If you do not use persistence the changes dissapear on shutdown. If you want to
keep them just remaster.
Best to get used to doing a personal remaster unless you really want to pass on a customised system to others.

Hi, ARSManiac!

I’ve relied on gufw, ever since I first started using Linux, many years ago. My thought is, why not try both?

Given that you’re running an old 32-bit machine, I’d say try the “legacy” version first. That’s the one most likely to work in a 32-bit system.

Then, if that works, why bother trying the other one?
i.e., “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Good luck!
