When I got home last night there were two big boxes from Dell waiting
in the middle of the lounge. This is my new 1400 Mhz Pentium IV, 
256 Mb Turbo Bastard Nutter machine.

One of the (many) advantages of having a new box is that I'll be able
to do a completely fresh Linux install for the first time for many 
years. My current box has been upgraded thru every version of Red Hat
since (I think) 4.1 to its current 7.0.

I could, of course, take the easy route and whack RH7 on it, but this
may be my best chance for some years to _easily_ switch distros.

So I'm looking for advice on the best distro to use. Bear in mind that
the existing box will currently become a firewall/proxy box so I'll 
do all the paranoid security stuff on there.

Go for it. Give it your best shot. 

Let battle commence.
