You want to move from Windows to Slackware?
You are braver than me (running Redhat and Suse).
As to the DSL. I just bought a Linksys mone switch/router and plug the
dsl into one side (it keeps up the PPPoE for me) and the lniux box into
the other.
It make it very simple because I just do the firewall stuff on the Linksys
box and set up the linux boxen to attatch to a local lan.

As for David's suggestion on the Linksys switch/router - they are
wonderful for home usage! I'm back to using a slack box as my router
(had to leave the Linksys back home when I left for college), but it
really isn't quite the same as being able to port forward with the click
of a mouse ;)
Either would be more than sufficient for someone.

Download an app that requires a net port. Open the port. Play with the
app. Hate it. Delete it. Close the port.
I love that.
I have gnutella running on only one of my boxen. Using the Linksys
forwarding, the ports are only opened to that box, and no other.
And it cost about $150 at Frys on sale.

The best thing about it, though, was that I could still use DHCP and not
have to rewrite firewall rules....check the list of connected devices
and forward to the correct machine. Granted, it's much simpler to use
static for the server, but DHCP wasn't difficult to do in that
situation.
For someone looking to watch the security aspect, the logging features
and domain blocking also came in rather handy.....as is, this slack
router doesn't allow connections to microsoft.com, doubleclick.net, and
a small number of other groups....had to do this by IP if I recall, but
with that Linksys, just specify the domain.
$150 US?!? I don't think we paid but maybe $30 more than that for a
wireless w/ 4 port switch when it wasn't on sale!
