Which distribution to go with, is I believe, a matter of personal
taste.
I have worked with two personally, Slackware and Red Hat. The version
of Slackware I had was a bit older, but overall I like Red Hat better. Red
Hat 5.0 comes with many of the kernel modules already created and
compiled and seems to me to be more user friendly than Slackware...
That's my 2 cents...

We all have projects we're working on at one time or another. I've wanted
to get involved in Linux for a long time. Indeed, I've purchased several
Linux distributions over the years, all of which remain on the bookshelf
uninstalled, because I've never had a business reason to install them &
develop my personal fascination with UNIX which all started at a C class
held at Bell Labs in Warrenville, IL in the 1970s. I now have a legitimate
business need to learn this stuff. I need to build a dual ethernet router
with IP MASQ - &/or NAT capabilities. Hopefully, I'll even be able to
integrate 3COM's cable modem ( model #2699 ) into the box & possibly ISDN
modem. From there I'll try grander things such as IMAP4 server, web server
etc.
OK, here's my question: For this application - a router box with IP MASQ
capabilities, which distribution should I start with.
All opinions are certainly welcome.
