I've got friends (really) -- who want to use an old box as a router/firewall/file server at the business. I told them Linux can do this -- all-in-one. But I've never been a serious admin type. Am I right that one box with Linux can do these things?
They have a modem from their ISP patched into a Netgear Web Safe Router (RP614v3) and four Win boxes (2XP, Vista, Win7) plugged into the router. Could this router be deactivated and used as just a hub? Would file serving be done by Samba?
