Firewall|Router, particularly with static routing, is easy to add on to
any system :-)

We have a 48MB P133 hanging around here that handles DHCP, samba, apache,
nfs, email, ssh, DNS, squid and MySQL.  The only problem is that I thought
that using ReiserFS was a good idea when I set it up, and now writing to a
rather-full /home can sometimes slow down to ~200KBytes/s :-(
