I've actually been quite happy using a low-cost Linksys box instead of a
Linux system. I used to use a Linux system, but that's another system
you need to keep up to date with new releases, replace the occasional
failed hard drive (since you'll probably use an old drive in it) and put
up with the noise and power requirements. Several people at work (all
IT people) came to the same conclusions.
You may want to check out the Linux Router Project if you continue down
the P120/48 route.
