A question out of subject:
Do I need to install in such conditions: a network composed of one
gateway and two other nodes at maximum
You will be pleasantly surprised to find out that with adequate cooling
and a good quality power supply, most standard PCs can go on for ages
without a single problem, no shutdowns, no reboots. A UPS is also
such low end (by today standards) machine is actually better. it rarely
overheats.

One other question -a bit silly:
If I use that configuration as the gateway, can it be left on and
working 24x7? I mean, regarding the _hardware_, how often does it need
to be powered off: once a day, once a week, ... to prevent hardware
failures such as HDD crash?
actually disks feel better whe
Then my configuration is not minimal I'd say :-)
Thanks.
so make use of it's huge power. first make gateway, then add squid at
least. possibly mail etc.

(cheap) PC to act as the gateway. The hardware specification is
CPU: Pentium II at 433MHz
RAM: 128MB
HDD: IDE 4GB
LAN Card: D-Link 538FE
Internet connection is a slow one below 512Kbps and there is only one
other node than the gateway in the network.
Is the configuration enough?
for pure gatew
Thank you all! Very surprising! I didn't know that.

Yes, the machine has 2 D-Link cards.

Hi all,
I'd like to setup a small home network therefore I plan to buy an old
(cheap) PC to act as the gateway. The hardware specification is
CPU: Pentium II at 433MHz
RAM: 128MB
HDD: IDE 4GB
LAN Card: D-Link 538FE
