That's true, and it also reminds me of another Distro that is floppy based. It's called Devil Linux, it boots off a cd but then reads configs from the floppy. /etc is stored on the floppy and there is a way to save stuff back to the floppy after you make changes. This may not work to well on old 486s that can't boot from a cd. I thought it was worth mentioning though! (http://www.devil-linux.org/) I like the freesco setup too. I think Toms Root Boot disk would work too. http://www.toms.net/rb/ But perhaps you should think about the ease of use for these systems. I think perhaps smoothwall would be easier to use. The web interface is a very nice feature for those who have never configured a firewall.
