Ohhkaay.
Cheap little git that I am, I decided It's finally time to set up a firewall. At the moment I have my bog-standard ADSL modem router running away, as it should.
However, being a geek, paranoid, and nosy as to what others in my family are up to on the net, I want to put in a firewall. I have an old thinkpad 600 (300mhz, 230MBRAM 4GB HDD, so more than powerful enough). I want to go through a modem, into the thinkpad, then on to the wireless router via ethernet. Unfortunately, the only other modem I have by me is a USB speedtouch 330 :(. I tried smoothwall, but to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.
I don't care as to what distro I should use, so long as it works.
Proprietary stuff, as always is not a problem, so long as it doesn't cost me anything...
