I have at my home a small network:

On all these PC boxes run Debian GNU/Linux:
firewall/gateway: Etch
Server : Etch
desktop : Lenny
The firewall has a buggy hardware and can't to install on it Lenny so
I decide to buy a new hardware for firewall/gateway.
Put the drive in another computer, install to that drive, then move the
drive back?
I think about that that I could to use the server box as a
firewall/gateway and the new PC box for the server..
What is the recommended new hardware for firewall/gateway or for a
web, mail, file & printer server at a small home network?
Well, since the PII worked just fine, I think you'll find that any
computer on which you can install Lenny will work for you. I used to
use a 486 with 32 MB ram but Etch couldn't install on it. It runs
OpenBSD very well.
