Firewall and Hardware questions

[Mathew S. Nowend]

Hello Everyone,

 

It has been a long while since I have been on, and I again I am in need of
guidance.

I am currently running a WIFI network which includes a dell PIII 600 running
XP pro, 

A dell XPS laptop with XP pro, and a Celeron 600 custom box.  My original
plan

Was to turn the custom box into a firewall/online storage/webserver.  If all
of that is

Possible from one box.  I went to www.tldp.org <http://www.tldp.org/>  and
downloaded the .pdf  about 

Bridge+firewall+DSL howto.  From my understanding DSL/Cable are the same
thing.

It does not say anything about what flavor of Linux to use, That is one
question.

Second question is I know I need dual NICS' in the box but the custom
machine

Stated above died. So I am replacing it and I just need to know if 512 RAM
and 

If I need to go with  a 40 or 80 gig hard drive?  Sorry if there was useless
stuff surrounding

The actual questions.

 

 

Regards,

 

Mathew
