Debian derived distributions would be my first general choice for your particular issue, but up front I'd look at specialized distros, and DSL would be my first choice for investigation.<br><br>Larry<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I am looking for a very lightweight distro, something to run on a P2 era<br>
computer maybe a bit earlier, It only needs to function as a router. So<br>
I need to use IP Tables to route between maybe two - five networks, My<br>
sisters lan/internet connection in her APT and my father's backup<br>
server(on a separate VLAN) in the house proper. I am hoping that my<br>
father has an old box that has room for 2 nic cards. That seems to be<br>
the cheapest route at the moment.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
