Hi Jake,
Connecting to a hub without a firewall means that each machine becomes
an exposed node and that all communications between them can be picked
up by a packet sniffer.
So that's the root passwords given away and a shortcut to either having
the ISP pull the account or being RBL-ed.

Hi..
If your ISP hands out multiple IP's through dhcp, then you'll be fine...
(you can hook all your machines to the hub)
but you won't be firewalled...(unless you install software)
Your best bet, is to make one linux machine a gateway, with 2 nics...
or buy one...(ex. suggestions from the other

If they all have IP addresses (for the internet), you're okay.

Is it possible to just hook up all my machines to the hub provided by the
cable modem provider, then install a Firewall program on each one? Or do I
have to get a cable router or something?

While not the best solution in terms of security and privacy,
you *can* have your router have only one NIC if you add
appropriate addresses and routes to it

Actually, you cannot do it that way unless each machine has it's own
internet address. Some providers allow up to three addresses. Beware
that you will need to have ALL your machines as secure as possible if
you go this route, OR you will be "HACKED" (Bad choise of words, I
know!).

Pay your cable company for the additional IP addresses you
require...
