Well, I gave this distro as example for a few reasons, such as :
1/ I'm using it right now
2/ It support wireless cards, SMP, e1000 Intel Gigabit Ethernet, etc with no or little fuss, just browse the website for a list of compatible, tested and supported hardware
3/ I know it is a well made interface, with good autodiscovery, and clear help (not always inline, but always well made)
4/ IPTABLES ? everything is closed by default, and you have a nice, clear and easy interface to open just the ports you want and do the routing as you prefer
5/ you also have the man pages, in addition to the included help and descriptions, and a newbies website, and community support, and each and every module also connects you to the full website and doc for each and every part of the OS you are configuring
6/ Even if you are both dense and not fully fluent in english you can install it and still be secure, and even get excellent paid for support if the official - free - help forum isn't up to par with your expectation
7/ Also, OpenBSD was already mentioned, and this excellent distro wasn't
8/ I never said OpenBSD was difficult, or too hard, I just told him to go and have a look at this distro, because you don't have to fiddle endlessy to find an HOWTO on this, and a WHYNOT on that. Efficient, Secure, under 500$. You get all three. Which is what he asked for.

I have the dubious pleasure of having a girlfriend that likes horror games.
So much that she makes me swap my xbox with a friends Cube so she can play Resident Evil.
Now the game that she likes/dislikes the most is Project Zero.

I know that my girlfriend don't want to play it too late at night. And I found that reaction funny, because Lovecraft used to get the same from me...
From what I read, when they showed the Project Zero -2 at the latest game convention, the poor guy doing the demo was freaked everytime a ghost came into view, which must have made his day quite long. Maybe I'll go and get it for her this christmas 8)

BEIJING -- Samsung Electronics plans to ship in a mobile phone with a built-in 7-megapixel camera in China later this year, according to a company spokesperson.

This marks the first time that the company has made a version of its 7-megapixel camera phone available outside its home market of South Korea, said Erin Lee, a Samsung spokesperson. "China is the only market outside South Korea where we are offering our most advanced products," she said.
While the new camera, the SCH-M709, will only be available in China, Samsung could roll out the phone in other countries, depending on customer demand and the response from operators, Lee said.
Camera Phone Specs
Samsung is showing the SCH-M709 at its booth at the PT/Wireless & Networks Comm China 2005 exhibition (PT Expo) here this week.
The SCH-M709 is built for CDMA 2000-1X mobile networks and is designed to look like a phone on one side and a digital camera on the other. The camera phone has a 7-megapixel camera with a 3X optical zoom and a 5X digital zoom and can take digital still pictures and video. The SCH-M709 also has a built-in MP3 player and has TV output.
The phone has a 240-by-320-pixel LCD screen capable of showing 16 million colors and weighs in at 5.6 ounces. Its dimensions are 5 by 2 by 2.2 inches. The SCH-M709 will be available in China during December. Pricing has not been announced, but comparable models sell for around $900, Lee said.
And God said "In Any Right Triangle, The Area Of The Square On The Hypotenuse Is Equal To The Sum Of The Areas Of The Squares On The Other Two Sides, and This is Good !.
"On the sixth fractal equation, God contemplated his finished creation in its vast splendor and saw that it was "Good", also "((The New Gen. 1:31))
On the next meeting, our Pastor, Hon. Prof of advanced Quantum Particles Physics Peter Hawkins, will explain us how God managed to create Free Will and reminded us about it by also creating Quantum Incertanity Principle as a practical example..

"Use the Preview Button! Check those URLs!"
Sorry again
I was thinking along the same lines, but using a dedicated distro like http://www.clarckconnect.com/
One cable modem, two subnets, no routing between them...
Clarkconnect comes free, with a range of possible upgrades like auto snort updates, security checking, and auto updates for the registered version.
Advantages : webpages configuration with quite a good help and easy set-up...
You can implement Mailscanner+SpamAssassin on the cheap.
The "intrusion prevention" updates part comes with a (small) price, and alltogether, the licence for a home office is around 200$...
Also, setting up is "secure by default" (you want a port opened, you do it...) and you are up and running after maybe 10-15 minutes config...
