Hi,
I've got an old p150 with about 64Mb Ram hanging around that I'm going to
set up as a firewall for when I get broadband. I have a few questions that
hopefully somebody can answer
1. Whats the best distribution to use, I have had quite a bit of experience
with Linux but not for the last 4/5 years so I'm a bit out of touch.
2. I'll need a network card for the box, any reccomendations for a
cheap(ish) card that will be easy to configure under linux
3. Until I get broadband I'll probably set it up so the Linux box dials my
normal ISP, I've only got a cheap winmodem any reccomendations for a good
modem to use with Linux
Thanks for all your help
David Hayes
