[-- Attachment #1 --]
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?
