The basic capabilities are built into the kernel. There are two ways to
go, really: dedicated firewall/gateway distros like "Mandrake Single
Network Firewall" and Smoothwall . Or, if you want to use it as a
general purpose server or workstation as well, I know Mandrake has an
easy GUI tool to enable IPMasq/NAT ("connection sharing"). Any other
distros that have easy-to-use NAT setup tools?
