Well, if someone cracks your firewall then they'll also
shouldnt be a problem, most machines i build are very multipurpose and
usually all have their own individual firewalls. e.g. my home network is
3 machines, with 1 of them acting as:
firewall
gateway(hooked directly to the dsl router)
NAT
NFS server
NIS server
www server
POP3 server
SMTP server
It depends on how secure you want it to be if all you need is basic NAT and
some packet filtering it is not a *really* bad idea. If you want anything more
than that I would not do it.

Do you have a link or know of a good book that describes how to do this? I'd
love to give this a try at my house.

Well, I would first look at the CD-Writing-HOWTO which has some basic
stuff on creating CDROMs and some information on making bootable
CDs. Then I would direct you to
