REAL DSL Sometime Soon!



A few weeks ago I was asking some DSL questions and since then I've dumped 
Ameritech (man they suck, go to dslreports.com for the whole sordid 
tale).  I've found a Covad backed DSL ISP which is 100% Linux and supports 
Linux called Speakeasy.net.

Now, I'm planning on setting up a home network so I can share the DSL line 
without paying for the extra connects and whatnot.  I'm planning on finding 
an old Pentium box to do this with and build the rest of it with spare 
parts I have around.  My goal is to have the box running IP Masquerade, 
printer sharing, a Roger Wilco host (voice communication aimed at games) 
and probably an FTP server.

I have Mandrake right now and I'm pretty sure I could get it set up (I 
think, might have to run through a lot of HOWTOs).  But, I know one of you 
guys mentioned a distro that is specifically for this kind of box and will 
get everything set up at install.  If you could refresh my memory on it or 
help me out with other suggestions I would appreciate it.
