Yes FreeBSD is a great idea.


A better solution would    be to purchase THe OFfical FreeBSD 3.4(4 cd's)
from 


http://www.cdrom.com

http://www.freebsdmall.com


It    cost very little and worth the price for the CD

instead of installing it    via ftp on a 486.


For a firewall soluton for your company try    :-


-The NetMax Firewall from (http://www.netmax.com)


NetMAX    FireWall's main features: 


All necessary software included and    installed 

Complexities of Linux concealed 

Customizable default    firewalls 

IP packet filtering 

Network address translation (NAT)    

Traffic Monitor 

Windows, Macintosh, and Unix clients supported    

Software only solution 



Looking forward to your    feedback.

<excerpt>  I am a PC technician - however, that has unfortunately     
caused my computer to be running Win'98. I have an ADSL account, and
would      like to setup a firewall in a 486. I have no Unix/Linux
experience, but look      forward? to the challange... I am currently
downloading the entire      ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD directory.
Is this a bad thing? I have no      idea where to start... any
suggestions?
