Just curious I'm getting my grandparents old PC and I was just curious if I turned it into a smoothwall box could I also run apache webserver on it?

That would defeat the purpose of having a dedicated firewall. You dont want your firewall to also be your server.........

if you want an all in one box like that you could use clarkconnect but I think having your server separate from the firwall is safer

You could just use any Linux distribution and set up iptables yourself for the firewall.

Or you could use Clarkconnect or SME server.

They are both firewall/webserver/mail server/file server operating systems.
