I use "monowall" which is a bootable cd image of FreeBSD. The computer only requires a cd and at least 64 MB of memory. This is a great firewall and if you are so inclined you can build a network filter.

I agree with the other user that referred you to m0n0wall. Great system. I think you should take a look at redWall firewall, too. It's clean, highly flexible, packaged with quite a few very useful tools and has an incredibly useful web interface.
Best of luck, Root --------------------  |
