I have had this PIII or maybe its a PII (the one thas the size of a pack of cards) with a 10 gig drive and 96mb ram. Its been just sitting there. and I want to use it as a firewall/router.

I have cable internet, and 3 other computers sharing the connectong through a Dlink router/hub right now.

I only need/want it for my computer only.
So I was thinking, out from the modem into the Dlink, out to this new box, and out a second lan card to my computer.

Would this work? and what OS/software is going to be best for this?

I can get around in unix to some extent, but am far from pro.
