I currently run ipcop (www.ipcop.org) for a co-op of 7 people.
It installs from a cd to a small hd, and a decent configuration app.
In addition it's also based off redhat linux, so it shouldn't be too hard to easily 
install rpm's.

I'm not too sure about the web interface stuff (to access drives and such), 
i know i used to use another linux router that used bbiagent (www.bbiagent.net)
that included a java-based web interface to manage some basic connection properties.
