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
