Okay so I'm finally getting Verizon DSL, and I need help setting up a
network. This is what I want to do:
DSL --> red hat 9 firewall/router --> ethernet hub --> 2 or three
computers

What do I need to install/configure to make the red hat 9
firewall/router, and can I use an old 486DX (50Mhz) box, or should I use
a more modern box?

Also I know I could just use smoothwall or go get a linksys router. but
i wanna learn how this stuff works.

Any info is very much appreciated
