For a firewall here, I use one of these:

http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=12372

It's a Lex NEO, with four 10/100 ethernet ports and two PCMCIA
slots (although I don't use the latter). It runs Debian, with a
compact flash card for the filesystem. I use my own hand-rolled
firewall scripts, but I'm sure it would handle any other distribution.
