SmoothWall is intended for use by anyone from home users
to systems administrators. It can run on virtually any 32-bit
Intel or i386-compatible PC from a 486 to an Athlon or
Pentium 4, and it enables that PC to become a dedicated
firewall appliance, aka a SmoothWall box. Apart from the
PC to run SmoothWall on, all that is required is an Internet
connection, some simple networking equipment to connect
the SmoothWall box to the rest of your private LAN, and
the SmoothWall CD image file...... About 21MB
I have had one of these running continuously now for about a month with no problems at all. It was dead easy to install and configure and it is running on an old 100Mhz IBM machine that was basicaly redundent. It has cost me virtually nothing to make and it is the best firewall you could want. They say that SmoothWall has not been known to have been hacked into.
A worthwhile project for those interested in security while online. Everything you need is on the site
