Hi Sigge, I'm currently doing this now as part of a series at: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/04/25/FreeBSD_Basics.html I didn't get into recommended hardware (if it runs FreeBSD, it'll work) and you don't have to install extra software as it's part of the base system. Will be covering your Chapters 4-9 though :) If you're really interested in firewall stuff, I highly recommend Building Internet Firewalls by Zwicky, Cooper, and Champman ISBN 1-56592-871-7 It's well worth its weight in gold, both as a reference and a basis for a solid understanding of how firewalls and protocols work.
