Go for it. It has many additional benefits, like the ability to use it 
as a router, remote configuration options (just login using OpenSSH) if 
you suddenly find yourself needing access from some unexpected location etc.

There are many diferent solutions for this, ranging from really 
straightforward 'boot from floppy' systems (like Freesco and LRP), to 
options that allow you to use the system as a server at the same time 
(basically every *nix, with different security and option levels). If 
you want the easy one I recommend Freesco, if you want more whistles I 
would recommend OpenBSD.

A PII 233 is overkill. The boot from floppy options require a 386 with 
12 MB, a floppy drive and 2 network adapters, for OpenBSD a Pentium is nice.
