Q.
A. How long will it take you and what's your desired hourly rate? Calculate that and you have an amount you're comfortable with charging a flat-rate for.
If you don't know what your hourly rate should be, do a quick search for a several reputable, local IT Support Providers and find out what they charge. Be competitive, but don't charge too low. Most responsible business owners want a qualified computer consultant over a "cheap" computer consultant. They expect to pay a fair and competitive rate. Not necessarily the lowest.
If you want to maximize your profitability on this project, up-sell a maintenance plan for the Linux box. Charge a low, recurring monthly fee that includes unlimited remote support, 24x7 monitoring and monthly reporting on service issues, bandwidth, security issues, alerts, etc. To push this solution, you can offer to discount the installation considerably, which you should easily make back over the course of the next few months.

What is the most powerful firewall for a Linux web-server?
Q. A software firewall not a hardware one.
A. Various answers here. Some firewalls (Linux) come with a web server, others just run on separate PC's.
Check out Distrowatch.com for the various firewalls. Some like Endian and ClarkConnect come with web servers embedded. Others like IPCop and Monowall are basic firewalls/routers.

I run my web servers on a dedicated Ubuntu server, with ISPConfig as the admin tool for multiple sites and security.
I then run a separate PC with a Linux firewall on the front end.
