Yer not the only one.   this thing is my firewall/gateway/router, also 
DNS and DHCP, and is quite reasonably hardened.   yes, ipchains is 
starting to get stinky, but it works.   it started life as RHL 6.0, but 
got upgraded, and now has an bastard mix of stuff on it.   It started 
life as a pentium-1 100Mhz, but that got upgraded to this 450Mhz when it 
was still a email server and the 100 couldn't keep up with the spam 
filtering.   I've got a P3 800 here running RHEL5 that I keep meaning to 
configure and swap in, but it ain't broke, so I've procrastinated.
