I'd highly recommend the current iteration of Smoothwall. Currently
version 2.0 beta 5--I've had an old AMD K6-2 w/32 Mb RAM running this
since early this past summer and had the .99 version then the 1.0 series
before that. Very stable in the 2.0 generation. Small ISO download from
http://smoothwall.org

Withstood the blaster, slammer hammering away this past fall. Great
stuff!
