@itsfoss 1998-ish, needed something better than Win9x/NT for our shiny new cable broadband connection. It was the hot thing all the l33t kids in our local 2600 group were getting into.

Installed Debian on an Am5x86-133 to act as the house firewall and router, web/email host, and Quake2 server, packed into an OG IBM PC-AT 5150 case. Setting up the NAT/firewall stuff was an exercise in madness, but once configured, was smooth and fast.
