I am going to follow the advice of the group and build my home network using a 
Linux firewall box. I need to get an idea as to what would be the minimum CPU 
speed needed, memory needed and disk space needed for such a box. I have a few 
older Compaq PC's that might fit the bill. I am not interested in building a 
development station. This box would be connected to the cable modem and the 
computers in the house would be connected to the linux box by either a hub, 
switch or router (to be determined).

Once upon a time I ran a firewall on a 486/33 with 8M of RAM. No problem. Just don't install a modern desktop distribution on it.
