I currently have my WWW conenction through my server which is a P200 32mb of RAM.

I am tempted to format her and make her a RH Linux 7.1/7.2

I have picked up various bits of advice but aint got the money really for a book at the moment.

Is it gonna be easy enough to install some sort of Internet Sharing on RH?

Thanks for the great advice I get from here :)

read the ip masquerading how to.... I'm a total n00b in linux and I managed to pull linux internet sharing with windows. its not that much of a problem, that howto also contains bits of how to make a costumized firewall.
i think it is at www.ipmasq.********
Its a brilliant guide, really.
Worth a try.

Use PMFirewall (pointman.org/pmfirewall). You can have your own linux-router type setup within 5 minutes.

Actually this is very easy to do using the document and tool recommended above.

PMFirewall is based on IPChains, newer kernels are based on IPTables.
