Have a look at this, http://m0n0.ch/wall

It's not Linux but Unix (FreeBSD to be exact) & will do exactly what
you're looking to do. If your spare computer has a CDROM/floppy drive,
you can yank that 10GB HDD & use it in something else. The CDROM version
of m0n0wall only needs the floppy drive to store the configuration as
the firewall/router runs in RAM.

Thank you all for giving me your valuable time and suggestion. I guess
LARTC or http://m0n0.ch/wall will most likely to solve my problem. I
guess I need sometime to do my homework. :-)

Thanks to you all & Have a Nice Day!
