I was thinking of setting up a Linux system as a firewall but I don't know too much about it. Does anybody know where I can locate information on how to.

I've built a mandrake linux firewall/web/dns server. my contingency plan was to have a backup router. so i used this linux floppy firewall.


it makes any pc, with a floppy disk drive alone, no keyboard, monitor or mouse, just two network cards into an ipTables firewall. very stable. your console can be over a serial port connection, using hyper terminal.

in case of a destructive intrusion, the whole network won't go down.
