If all you need are the routing functions, then buy a consumer
router for $50. Much easier that way, and silent: no CPU fan, no
power supply fan, no spinning HDD.
Did you google for: "linux router howto"? The fist link is specific
to Gentoo, but can easily be interpreted into The Debian Way.
Another way is to use a floppy disk distro. I used to use floppyfw.
It seems to still be maintained, and maybe it can boot from a thumb
drive.
