I got a Performa 475 for free, I would like to put NetBSD or another unix-type language on it to use it as a firewall, because of it's low power use. I can't use Linux because of the LC040 chip, but I think it would run fine with the 36 meg of RAM it has and another OS.

Do I need two ethernet cards? That's the way it works with other setups. It has an ethernet card now, one jack, but don't I need two, one for in and one for out? Do I have enough slots to do this?

As an aside, the case is yellow on one side from sunlight, does anyone know about that new paint that bonds to plastic? I would like to paint it matte black.
