That's sort of what I was planning on doing....I'm going to try using
Debian....I've just sorted thru all the packages it installed in one 
of the default modes and I think I'll try to figure out a way to pass
it a custom list of packages I want installed....then install the
firewall services....then see if it can't be stripped down a little
