Yes, you can do that with Linux with no problem. My background is in Sun, but as far as home computing goes, Linux is much better, mostly because of cost. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have an Ultra 10 for my desktop, but software, etc is expensive in most cases. With Linux, you can find almost anything you need and it is usually free. I have never paid for any Linux software to date. There is definitely a lot of configuration involved in setting up an ISP, but I think you will find Linux to be cheaper and probably function better then x86 Sun.
