can i replace a linksys router with linux server?
I have experience with Linux desktops but not servers and networks. I want to replace the role of my linksys wrt54g router with a linux server. I know it most likely can be done, but not sure how to go about it.
1. can this be done (see diagram below)
2. are there any guides around that can walk me through it?

Linux server (local ftp, web, file & storage, firewall, router) --most likely ubuntu but open to others

Linksys wrt54g wireless router running tomato firmware (act as switch and wifi access point)

3 wireless computers
2 Ethernet computers
------------------------------------------------------
any help would be appreciated
