You might also like to check out Smoothwall. It's a dedicated SOHO dial
up firewall distro, and works with low spec hardware like LRP. It's
designed to install by booting off the CD and giving it your IP details
and that's about it. The configuration is done through a browser front
end allowing you to configure the rest of the options. Check out my sig
for the web site :-)
