[sdw2003] Linux firewall for home network

[Rich]

I'm a Linux enthusiast, but unless you need/want something really
fancy or have esoteric needs, just buy a router.  They have excellent
firewall built in that just makes you invisible on the internet, and
gives you your home networking as well.

LOTS less electricity than an old PC as well.

Won't stop user stupidity, of course....  :)

There used to be a nifty two floppy Linux (coyote?) that worked great.
 I used it 'til my box died and I just bought a wireless router.
