And there is a great quick install guide on the MPLUG wiki 
<http://www.mplug.org/phpwiki/index.php/BasicFirewallRouter> that gives 
instructions for setting MonMotha's script up on some old hardware as a 
dedicated firewall.  Though I suppose it need not be dedicated, you need to 
do something with that old win98 box after you're through with it, right? I 
think this wiki page is the best thing for a firewall beginner on the web - 
I was looking for something comparable, they all want to make you into an 
expert before you get to do anything.

As for other transition ideas, does anyone have an opinion on vmware or 
wine as mechanisms to wean us from our sad assimilated state? I haven't 
gotten around to actually trying them.
