I was organizing my photographs using f-spot when I came across a photograph of the first Linux router I ever built. I'd bought an old IBM Pentium 133MHz box - pretty big for a router, and stuck in a couple of network cards.
The router ran Red Hat Linux version 7.1. I was so impressed with version 7.1 that I ended up buying Red Hat 7.2. John Van Ostrand, from Netdirect, helped me get all the ipchains/iptables rules set up (I was pretty green about security back then). Thanks John. The router never had any downtime the 1 1/2 years it was in service.
