I doubt the OP would need anything remotely near a 200Mhz system. I've done all of the above (with the single exception of traffic shaping) on a 486SX25 with a mere 16 Megs of RAM. The system is running Debian woody with a 2.4.18 kernel. It provides an iptables based firewall along with PPTP and IPSEC VPN access along with SSH connectivity for remote administration. -- Jamin W.
