Hi, how does this compare to a hardware firewall?

Thought I might give it a whirl as I have a few old PC's with nothing to
do...

I have downloaded the file "smoothwall-0.9.9-se.iso" which I
think is
right but what do I do with it now?

As I cannot get my ICS to work no matter what I try I thought maybe time
to uninstall all firewall software and try something else?

TIA,

B.
