Take a look at emBSD at 32 meg it's small and secure (OS is on flash memory). Most inportantly it does one job, routing and firewall duties, and it does it well. http://embsd.suspicious.org/
How about a book that will go over dealing with Unix and 2000/NT network. Just a quick list of Chapters. NT for Unix admins, Unix for NT guys, LDAP issues, making Sexchange work happy with qmail work happy with groupwise. How about how to keep the PHB from noticing that the SMB shares are on a linux box in the corner. Making LDAP replicate to all the mail servers (Solaris, BSD,Linux,Novell 3.1 - 4) What problems will my Novell guy run into when I migrate to $OS. I have never seen where the network is homegenous, everyone has some old box needed for legacy apps.
Why screw around? If you are serious about this spend $50 extra and get a used router off e-bay. You can get a 1600 series with 2 ethernet ports of around $225 plus shipping. You get a real router, a little experience with cisco kit and with the GUI config even my dad could set this up.

Lets not forget Edonkey2000 which has many users mirroring. I can find over 150 as I speak. Ahh.. P2P being used constructively. NWN_Tools_BETA.EXE
