Before the days of the cheap router/firewall from Frys many of

I suggest that there is no better way to learn Linux, routing
and firewalls than to get an old box like this (when you can
find them they tend to be free, an old portable will do) and
a couple of NICs. Go to the LEAF project website, download
and start to play.

The only cost for all of this is your time.
I had one of these that simply set in the corner and ran for
several years. The only time I rebooted it was when we had a
power failure.

What he said. I still have my P90 firewall out in the garage. Some day I
may resurrect it. I suppose I'll have to replace the dual floppy drives
with CDROM though.
