Currently have win98se's ICS sharing splitting our cable modem up. since the ics is running off my comp its fairly annoying to have people ask me what happened every time i need to reboot. COnsidering setting up a permanent linux box to do the job. Question is what requirements does it need. Some people have said the 386 that i have will do it, others disagree. Having said all that, are there any good sites where i can get info on what i need to do? I am fairly lacking in linux knowhow but will take time to learn whatever is needed. thanks 8)
 
Guessing that your cable is <2MBit, a 386 will do just fine. Grab one of those one-floppy-linux distros, like LRP, and you'll be fine.
 
Freesco works real well. Having 2 or 3 PCI slots in the old computer makes things much easier. 2 for the NICs and 1 for a video
