RE: Debian as a router.

The part that you should pay particular attention to is setting up your
firewall.  For a ga-jillion examples of IPTables scripts, many of which
are ready-to-run, check out:

You can do many other cool things on your linux router.  I have Squid
running as a transparent proxy and a local DNS cache, which combine to
make my cable service F-A-S-T, even with 12 computers and 6 users behind
my firewall. :)
