You did not mention any use other than that of a router/firewall...
Just a suggestion but why go through the trouble of installing RH3? Why
not a purpose built kernel specifically tailored for router/firewall
duty? I use Smoothwall Express. It has an active community (just as
with RH) and is purpose-built for the task you're looking for. You can
have it running inside of 20 minutes and it's pretty solid. I have a
couple of places where I have manually adjusted mine to suit certain
needs (Multiple external IP addresses and Full Firewall Control) but it
runs very nicely. I can give you more info offlist if you like.
