Eventually. I'm pretty new to Linux and the idea of installing a firewall 
and configuring ipchains sounds daunting. Is it that bad or does it just 
sound bad?

That plus the fact that the only cheap PC I have here is an old AMD 200MHz 
... trying to install Linux on that would certainly be interesting. I'd also 
have to pay for two new LAN cards ^_^
