[ossig] Firewall



Hi everyone,
I need to install a firewall for my organisation (we are finally getting Streamyx :).  I want to setup an old Pentium 150 PC as a firewall + gateway machine.
 
My idea is to set it up without HDD.  I want to boot off a CDROM and run exclusively in memory.  This is because I don't want to trash the file systems everytime power fails.
 
This means I should be able to configure the distro before burning into CD.  Only one I find on the internet is Morphix.  Anything else I can consider?
 
Also toying aroung the idea of booting off NFS volume.  Any suggestion / comments / advice are most welcome.
 
Any suggestion on which distrubution to use?
 
I don't want to boot off floppy.  Floppies cannot be trusted.
 
 
regards,
Venantius.
