Re: connecting internet to a local LAN
Well this is fairly simple. The easiest way would be to go on over to http://tldp.org and read up on IP Masqurading

In short (on Slackware 10) do a
#chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.ip_forward
and do a
#/etc/rc.d/rc.ip_forward start
or reboot
and grab a firewall script like Shorewall or Anro off of http://www.freshmeat.net
Oh and of course make sure all your machines have a default gateway/router set to this linux box... installing a caching name server might not be a bad idea either... see http://tldp.org for that.
