Hello everyone

I have been asking to set firewall for my company. All the computer on this
network have public ip address and server content to our customers. We have
cisco 2600 router that connects us the internet . I would like to set linux
box in between the cisco router and this network.
My questions is will the cisco router and linux firewall/router play nice.
What problems could I run to with this set up. I do understand the cisco
router this a firewall build in to, but nobody there knows anything about
cisco routers. With this setup we can changes to firewall with having
someone come in everytime.
