I also recommend OBSD.

There are several firewall/router-specific Linux distros, like Coyote
linux, that are pretty easy to install.

Subject: Kinda OT -- Firewall servers and the like (home use)


My roommate recently acquired a Dual P233 (think it was a 233) system
and a Dual Power PC 100mhz system... (not sure the rest of the specs off
hand, i know one system has 10 2.5gig SCSI Drives)...

Would either of these be suited for a firewall setup?  I'm assuming some
version of *nix could handle this w/ out a problem, as well as maybe
acting as a file server (no important files) and a few other misc tasks.

This sound feasible?  and what *nix flavor would be best suited to
something like this?

Neither of us are "well versed" in linux/unix, but we're both familair
with it.


thnx

shane
