Make your networking simpler, easier, and safer: drop some dough on a Linksys broadband firewall/router/NAT, and then no matter the OS, just plug a computer into a port on the Linksys and it's connected. It also greatly simplifies the internal networking if you've got more than one machine running. To top it all off, the Linksys routers use an embedded Linux, so you know it's relatively reliable. Oh, and it'll give you some time to learn how to configure a *real* firewall, like Mandrake Multi-Network Firewall, if that's something you are interested in and you've got the extra hardware.
