now, how serious of a firewall do you want to make it, and how often do you want to use it. Also, if you wanna try linux on your good computer, you can dl a Live Linux version and play with it that way which is really nice.
There are a few threads about Knoppix.
If you just want to use the other computer as a plain firewall, look at Smoothwall Linux or Clarke Connect.
Both of those other a good firewall, and a few other nifty tools.
