The bigger issue is ensuring that an older computer has enough disk space to house a modern distro and enough RAM to run modern kernels -- and even then you can tighten things up if you're willing to work with a speciality distro.

I second that, nicely put!

If I may suggest Smoothwall for a firewall appliance...? This is a specialty distro, IPCop is another similar distro. Smoothwall's even got a simple static DNS built-in, just the thing for a smallish home network. Might be just what the OP is looking for?
