Hi group,

My oldest PC has been rotated past the entire family, and was finally retired last week.

So now I have at my disposal a 350MHz PII with 320MB Ram, 2 HD's of 20GB, NIC (and 2 more in the closet) and a DVD reader.

I could of course try to sell the parts online, but I am tempted to convert this old thing into a do-it-all server, which would be firewall, proxy, internal POP & SMTP, DHCP, DNS and file server.

Currently, my own P4 has 2 NIC's, one to my cable modem and one to the internal LAN. I run 602LanSuite (freeware edition), which incorporates the above services.

<finally getting to the heart of the matter>
Does anyone know of a free (linux?) solution that has all this?

I'm specifically looking at an all-in-one solution, considering that my linux knowledge is almost zero.

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
