Using Fedora as firewall.

[Kevin F. Berrien]

I understand this is a Fedora list.  And building your firewall 
"manually" is a great way to learn firewalling on Linux.  However, if 
you find yourself totally flustered and are about to give up, there is 
always Smoothwall, wwww.smoothwall.org, which is a turnkey solution you 
can use.

Having a true Linux box would be preferable, as you can then configure 
other serverices such as a cache DNS and speed up your lookups a bit, etc...
