I have heard of people running linux on tired iron like this (there's
even a linux on a floppy distribution, I hear, that's already set up to
do this) and using the box as a firewall/dhcp server between the outside
world and the rest of your network. You need two network cards in it
though, IIRC.

And you'll probably want to at least double the RAM.

I suspect Derek isn't going to double the ram. The alternative is tossing the
box which he seems inclined to do.
