for firewalling on a 2.4 kernel, you could always start here:
http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/index.html#HOWTO

to setup a transparent web proxy:
http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/mini/TransparentProxy.html

for content filtering and access control:
http://www.squidguard.org

and to get rid of annoying banner ads:
http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net


if you get all of teh above setup, you'd have a pretty controlable
setup.  but it will require manuall updates.
