I'm just writing because I'm excited and too many people I know don't know what I'm talking about. It's one of those cheapo Walmart PCs that I've set up as a NAT/Firewall box with ipfilter and ipnat. It's been up and running without any issue at all. It was also my first PC; I've previously only owned and worked on Macs. I got another one this weekend that I'll be doing a more general desktop install on to play around some. I like it! That's all. Thanks, Scott
