This box will work great.
If you would like to find out about a HowTo with regards to the basic building, not ruleset management, of a firewall using CentOS, look in the security section of the Forums.
Hi,
This box is more then enought for a firewall ;)...i really think you could send 50Mbits+ of filtered traffic thru this box ;)

Hi, I am going to set up an office of 30 employees and since it's the first time I thought I will ask for suggestions (trying to make a CentOS base office :) ). I was planning to re use an old Compaq LPr PII 450, sw mirrored scsi 10000rpm disks, 448Mb RAM, to build a CentOS based firewall and I was wondering if this hardware would be enough to serve 30 clients (I already have a centos firewall serving 8 users on a PC celeron 1,3Ghz machine and top shows average load 0.00). The other service they'll need is filesharing, which will be Samba running on samba Dell PE1800 (although we could use a compaq 1850r PIII 600), while for the phone system I would like to set up Asterisk and I was wondering if anyone has had a good experience with the Xorcom TS-1, which seems a nice cost effective system.
Suggestions are very welcome, have a nice day.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your replies, I will definitely go for the howto. I will turn the Asterisk and Samba related questions to their respective list, thanks again
