I concur. What I use now is an older WRT-54GS with 8MB flash and 32MB ram. I've flashed it with Sveasoft's firmware, and it runs fine. If you watch ebay, you can get one of these boxes for $40. The current incarnation only has 2MB flash and 8 or 16MB ram.

Hello

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).

I've installed Pebble Linux on a 486 with 64 Mb RAM and a 64Mb Compact
Flash card.
