I've already assembled the box. The strategy is this:
Internets > DSL Modem > Router B0x > Switch > All those computahs.
I have a CD-ROM drive, several USB plugs and a hard drive at my disposal. I'm looking for a softare/OS that will allow me to do everything I can do with a router and more.
So far, I've only seen two programs coming up again and again: FreeBSD, and a modification of it called m0n0wall.
There is one problem: I know jack shit about routing software, and I'd rather do a single install rather than try every damn thing that's available for hours on end.
Has anybody got any experience with that stuff and has a clear, definite opinion on what to install on it?
EDIT: I forgot a very important criteria I was looking for: I must be able to access the router computer remotely, from elsewhere inside my home network, ideally in a remote desktop environment (a la PCanywhere or UltraVNC)
