if you haven't installed any OS's yet, checkout ClosedBSD, it's a full OS on a CD/Floppy and will do exactly what you want. it's based around the extremely robust and secure OpenBSD kernel, and you shouldn't need to do much configuring at all... http://www.closedbsd.org/ if your determined on the idea of running RH, then that's what i'm running at home. I'm not much of a linux person, but a simple google search will give you several step by step tutorials on how to set it up properly. I managed it in a few hours. definatly recommend running 2 NIC's in that box tho... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
