Your email went to the list blank.

Yes, LinuX can be used as a firewall.  IPTables is supplied with Redhat 
8.0, and simple things can be done with the following commands:

iptables --list > ~/iptables.save
lokkit
/etc/init.d/iptables save

You'll also need to set the machine to foward packets:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Search for the IPTables HOWTO.  There is more that you will need to know 
to do this safely.
