Those "Ready to configure" project do look good. They are a good plan-B. :-D As I want to learn as much as possible from this installation I'd love to set up the system from scratch. I was thinking of using a minimal Debian 5 and install services gradually using a new IP subnet. How does one test a setup like that to see if it's secure? I have two public DHCPed IP addresses available on my cable modem. Jack Daniel wrote:The wisdom of combining jewels and perimeter security aside- look at the SME Server project. It is one of the easiest and fastest multipurpose server packages to build and maintain. It can be set up as a firewall and server, or standalone server. It can be managed from the web interface alone, or you can get under the hood when you want/need more control.

I have been using Linux for several years now and have a MythTV box running. I have four PCs running and there's no Windows in this house. :-D I was playing with the idea of setting up a multi purpose server (file sharing, print server, proxy, DNS, ...). The terms multi-purpose and security do not go hand in hand, but that is a trade off I have to take because I can not afford to run a full rack. The main question is: Can I use the one machine as a firewall, using multiple network cards on different subnets, and at the same time run Squid, SMTP, DNS, DHCPD, CUPS, etc.. on it? What is the take of the experts on a situation like this? Keep in mind this is a home situation with a limited budget. Thanks.
