No.
You need Cable Modem -> [WAN] Smoothwall [LAN] -> Seperate Switch <- Your desktop.
Smoothwall would need 2 NICs.
ALL traffic needs to pass through it.. The WAN NIC on the Smoothwall box should have your public IP.
*kind of*
It's more of a firewall with some routing capabilities. (it can also do traffic shaping, VPN termination, etc.. :) )
It has 3 interfaces.. 1 WAN (Internet) which goes to a Cisco ADSL modem, 1 LAN (my local network - PC, Laptop), and 1 DMZ (My public servers for web server, mail server...

It's actually much better than my old Cisco Pix. :)
(Altho, I don't have a "normal" home setup, hehe)
Why do you need it though?
SSH from a workstation box..
My server doesn't even have a monitor, nor does it need one apart from if it doesn't boot.
I have my laptop with OSX Terminal. I have my desktop with PuTTY.
I can guarantee most servers, running Linux/BSD in the world, don't have X...
Because a graphical interface on a server isn't needed. (and probably frowned upon)
However, you could always apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it'd install GNOME.
If you use comand line, it's perfect.. which is why I use it on all my servers. On the desktop, the GUI is more important to most people, so that's where it fails.
When I used it on my desktop, I purely used the GUI to launch terminals.. and then have a web browser. I even used www.mutt.org...
Nah, rDNS rocks (as long as you have delegation to your own name servers).
It gets a bit crap if you have to e-mail your ISP to action changes.
Luckily, my ISP does do the delegation, so I have complete control over all of my DNS.
Not easy, depends on loads of things and it's not legal I don't think?
What I did was get a Mac Mini off of eBay, had a play and see if I liked it.
I ended up buying a Macbook Pro :)
Slowaris? ;)
You had a head start if you do..
Linux is fine, as long as you can use a terminal.. you just can't use it without resorting to command line.
Because I just used a basic window manager, as GNOME was way in it's infant stages and KDE was useless, I had to learn it.. (KDE is still...
Red Hat is enterprise only now.. and not available unless you pay.
Fedora is the Red Hat funded "free" version.
Anyway, they all suck apart from Debian - FACT! ;)
I've used most of the major ones, and I still use Debian 9 years on.. so... ;)
Erm, "Linux" is released under the GPL. (www.gnu.org for info on the licence)
www.ubuntu.com
www.debian.org
fedora.redhat.com
Are 3 distributions.. there are hundreds of distributions, tho.. all based around the Linux kernel.
If you just wanna try it out, I'd recommend www.ubuntu.com - it's...

Just from a quick search.. if you do wanna use that board..
I'd go Shuttle too, if I wanted a PC of that size.
They will.
Whether it'll work right, is another matter.
In terms of navigation, it's "OK". TomTom is much better, tho.
I used mine purely just to see the arrow - and that's fine..
The main issue is the update time and the accuracy, but.. depends if you just want a pretty picture ;)
I tended...
If it's in c:\windows\system\ it probably is..
If it's in c:\windows\system32\ it's probably fine.. it's the Session Manager Subsystem which is a Windows thing.
