I didn't know that IPCOP could run on one that old. I have one like that up in the attic, time to bring it back down. Before I upgraded to 5.3, I was running 4.7 with FireStarter and did not have any troubles. As soon as I get some sleep I will be looking in to setting it up.
If it is a pure firewall/nat box then you may want to give OpenBSD a try. Expand your horizons a bit. I ran OpenBSD headless on a Pentium too but with a bit more RAM and diskless too.
Thanks Chan, I will look into it because that is exactly what it would be. I have been wanting to setup a home website, but I did not want to run everything off of one server. IIRC I have 384 megs of ram on that PC, but I don't remember the mhz. I think it might be a 133mhz, do you think that would do?
Ought to. My backup/production is a 200MHz Pentium with 96MB. Works fine. And I have a cable connect that gives decent download speed. The degradation is really not that noticable when I take out the 380MHz AMD K-6-II/256MB and put the Pentium unit in place.
