IMO, I would purchase a LinkSYS or D-Link router. For $100 CDN I can sleep better at night knowing that I am safer than the average bear. ;)
Considering one member of this list already had his Linux firewall "hacked"
I would suggest getting a hardware firewall, but that's only my Canadian 2
cents worth.
Peace.

Subject: Linux as a firewall
I have recently gotten a new machine at my house with WinXP Pro. However,
I'd like to place something between the XP machine and my broadband
connection that will act as a firewall. I'd like to rebuild my old machine
as Linux and build it as a firewall.
Currently I work with Linux as the OS for our database servers, but have
never setup a secure Linux firewall system. I realize I can Google or
RTFM,
but I would like to see if any of you have favorite documents or websites
for such info. If you have any links to good docs on learning and setting
up Linux in this type of environment, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
Chuck
