I see lots of people recommending Netgear NICs, but nobody has mentioned
Linksys, specifically the LNE100TX. I've had no problems whatsoever in
the 2 yrs I've been using them. (tulip driver) A quick pricewatch search
shows compuplus.com selling them for $4 right now.

wow, i've not seen that behavior.
Just for comparison purposes, I've got one in a Duron box (Duron 800)
and no problems. I plan on getting an athlon for that box, so i'll keep

thanks for the heads up

Network Card:
I would recommend you a NIC with a Realtek 8139 chipset.
It supports 10 / 100 MBit and is based on PCI. Usually, it is really easy to
configure it under Linux.
Usually it should not cost more than 15 USD.

I agree a firewall should not have installed services
or applications that are not required in its role.
Check out www.ipcop.org. Its 28 mb based on RedHat 7.2
but uses the 2.2 kernel and ipchains (not iptables).
Being a recent distro means its easier to
patch/update. In fact, the web interface

You are not going to tell us that you are suggesting IPChains with
FreeBSD, are you?
FreeBSD includes ipfw (ipfirewall) and ipf (ipfilter) which can be
optionally compiled into the kernel. Ipf also includes ipnat which works
perfectly well together. For those interested into serious firewalling
/Firewall-HOWTO.html
And there is a free opensource IDS @ http://www.snort.org if you're
looking for intrusion detection.

A good cheap network card is Netgear. I have been using Netgear NICs
on my Redhat machines at home. As far as Linux distributions go, Redhat
is pretty easy to work with and the installation has gotten easier over
the past few years, plus there are lots of books on Redhat. Redhat 7.2

Slackware.
a second NIC when you get broadband - one for the DSL/Cable modem,
one for your LAN.
Good Luck,

i'm using RedHat 7.2 and i dun't have any complains, Netgear FA-311 seem
to work fine and they run around $20 i believe. I can't help you on the
modem part as i've been out of the modem stuff for a few years.
