Answer» I can't seem too find a linux distro that'd work with my specifications. Some of the last posts distro's where interesting, but not what I need. I need a solution SOON, I'm getting my cable connection in August.
It must run off of a floppy disk, hard drive is an option, and it must be built specifically for router/firewall use. I am no linux guru and would rather keep things simple. Also, it MUST support four mix-matched NIC's, plus a Aethero's based WIC. All the distro's I've seen only support one input, and one output card, or sometimes two output cards. . System specs are a 333MHz PII, 128MB PC133, floppy or 2GB HDD, old slot 1 intel based abit motherboard, four NIC's, two of them are linksys, the other two are intel I think, a Aethero's based WIC, and an old 2MB or 4MB nVidia AGP GPU, since the board has no onboard video. It'll be powered by a lil 100W bestec MATX PSU, and crammed into an old 5CD changer too keep it LOW profile and generally easy too get out of the way. Don't know what you've been suggested so far but how about SmoothWall?SORRY for the delay, got a bit busy over the last couple days. Anyway, I dug up the old post and Smoothwall was recommended, so i'll use it or DSL, probably gonna use Smoothwall since I don't know jack about linux.
