    Hello,

    I am new to Linux and would like to use an Apple LCIII as a hardware
    firewall on a small home network. The other computers on this network are
    two Windows PC's and a Mac, at the moment they share an internet connection
    via one of the PC's.
    I have been told that it is possible to run linux configured as a firewall
    on on of these older Macs.
    If anyone has done this or can recommend a forum or web site where I can
    read further, I will be very grateful.

    Regards

    Mark C.
