I've used freesco, and tried a host of others, but
didn't find one I liked for various reasons.. ie.
things were broken or storage(memory or hd) wasn't
managed well..yadayada. I asked this same question in
one of the meetings a few months ago, and someone
suggested I try IPCOP. It is currently based on
kernel 2.2, but next version to be out shortly will be
based on 2.4. I've been very pleased with it so far.
I lot of thought has gone into the organization and
interface to this distro. I currently have it running
on an old 66mhz486 with a 540HD and 32meg of memory.

As for what hardware to suggest.. any old 486 and up
will do for this purpose. If you need a solid machine
P/100... standard setup(monitor, cpu, keyboard...)
please contact me off list. I have four to sell.
