I recently read a post about someone who had done this, but, I with my trigger finger, deleted it.
I have an older machine (P133) that I'd like to turn into a router/firewall. It only has 24MB RAM (potentially a little more may be added) and 2 170MB hard drives. I'm going to put in between 3-5 NICs. It also has a CD-rom drive, if that helps.
So, 1) Are 170/340MB enough space?
2) Will the machine be able to handle a load like that?
3) Any specialty distros anyone can recommend? Easy and Fast preferable.
Thanks,
~Jim
