Linux ISP setup

I want to install a Linux ISP, but I cant find
any FAQs or HOWTO's for the specific subject.
I know basic Linux commands, and I am also
wondering which distro of Linux is best for such
a thing. The ISP will have to support cable modems.
Is this possible? With which Linux kernal?
The PC in question to be used as a server is an
Intel Pentium II, 64MB RAM, 233MHz, etc.

For a start, look at Robert Hart's Dialup-Tips document
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/Dialup-Tips/

It is a complete question, as for setting up an ISP, you'll need to know about setting up DNS, sendmail, NNTP, httpd, popd ...etc
Each of them is a complex tools by itself and require at least a few HOWTO and a few books. Knowing basic commands won't help you to setup an ISP. Good luck.
