My suggestion would be to get 1U server from somewhere with a 64/100Mhz PCI bus & riser and put in a 4-port Intel pro/1000 NIC. You can use a 1GB CF disk for the hard drive and do a regular Fedore Core X (or whatever) install. I get my systems from www.ironsystems.com, but you can get them various other places as well...
