Security - you can't be 100 per cent. Do the best you
can and keep current with advisories.
I've done most of what you mentioned but only used a
486DX with a 408 Mb hard drive and 40 meg of RAM. 
My sincere advice - avoid the snazzy GUI frontends.
Keep it to a mean CLI set-up and you'll be grateful
to yourself later on.
