Hey guys! I Just bought an old pentium 2 box. I plan to make it into a firewall in the following configuration:
the coax cable comes out of the wall, into PC(firewall), out of second NIC into router, which swiches to 3 other comps.
I was just wondering which OS i should use for the firewall. Right now I am torn between Linix and Microsoft XP. I have the techlical now-how for Linix, but the potential lack of firewall options frightens me. Also, i am planning on running a web server and an FTP server off the firewall box. Maybie also Kazzaa, but that would be later, i think. Any other thoughts would be welcome as well
