redhat 7 linux box recomendations

[ralph wiggum]

pretty soon im gonna make another linux box, this one will be 100% dedicated to JUST linux... no dual boots

this will be used as a gateway/firewall for me and my dads comps...

what should i get?

i was thinking about intel celeron/p2 200 (maybe)

asus MD (not sure which model)
*edit*
i checked this out and no one seems to like asus...hmmm (http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=004412)

128 megs of ram

5 gig HD(IDE)

no sound card

nic card(2 of em) PCI

video card (pci or AGP)

anything else im missing...hmmm....

like i said this will be used by linux and only linux (maybe UNIX???)

so they all have to be non PnP....

any ideas and/or recomendations?

here is what i recommend for this celery 400 p2 333 possibly higher cause u never know if u are going to have a game server. 128mb RAM one stick of 128 cause u never know. as for the hdd if u have the 5 use it if not buy a 10gig or higher they are really cheap online now www.pricewatch.com.
