Hector,
Please turn off HTML, as it makes messages unnecessarily large and many people
read their mail with text-based mail readers.
For a firewall, you need a machine with two (or more) NICs. You need a recent
kernel with netfilter support either compiled in or built as modules. You need
the iptables user-space program and a firewall building tool would not be a bad
idea. Personally, I use shorewall at home and for a lab that I administer.
That's it as far the actual packages go.
