I am that person :) If I can avoid SmoothWall, tho', I would like to; 
even if it's just at first. The reason for that is that I can think of 
better uses for a low end machine (eg central file storage) and I'd 
prefer not to have a machine burning electricity if I can avoid it.

If I have decent firewalling on each machine on the network, won't that 
be enough?
