yeah I'll use this @ home .... BTW I'm using Mandrake 8.0 and I'm also using 
the internet connections sharing , 
could this also be done if I got rid of mandrake & loaded some kinda BSD or 
even solaris on my pc?
I need a full BSD system @ home for school related use but I don't wanna 
reformat my RH box, or could I load BSD on a P75 64MB RAM 514 MB HDD?
anyway if I decided to keep mandrake, where should I add this rule to?

TIA
