Such hardware would probably be fine as a firewall, dns/dhcp server, but I'd recommend running the graphical yast tools remotely from your linux desktop, for best results. The little box would probably be OK as a file server for backup, assuming sufficient disk space, but you will want to ruthlessly shut down any services that are system hogs (beagle, zmd, etc) as well as any unneeded processes.
