It's not debian-based, but ipcop (www.ipcop.org) works pretty sweet. I run it
on an old laptop so the power doesn't eat me up. I've got a URL filtering
add-on working so the kids don't see the pr0n. :) Of course, I've got my 2nd
NIC running to a switch so all my other pc's can share the connection, but you
could just run it straight to the 2nd pc with a crossover cable if you wished.
