My home pet project

My ultimate goal is create a UNIX based server that acts as a router/firewall and a data storage unit for my home network. However, I would also like to host sites and have restricted access from 'outside' to get to my data.

This was started as a pet project and I realized I was going to be in over my head from the start.

I was wondering what the easiest way is to setup my server as a router/firewall. I have a pretty simple setup so far -- 2 ethernet cards, debian, and a cable modem. Where do I go from here?

Thank you in advance for your help
