Busy box seems more for a strictly embedded system, although I do need minimalist software because I'm planning to use a CF card, which you should set to read only, or only have it written to during config changes since CF cards only have a limited amount of erase cycles. Running logging or having a swap partition means certain death for the card. m0n0wall seems to be just the ticket I need. It's pretty minimal, designed for CF card use, but it still has lots of features and seems pretty easy to use.

Now the next task is a make a case for it. I'm thinking about just trimming that motherboard tray down and building a box around it with sheet metal. I would use a regular ATX case but that would make it much bigger than it really needs to be, since i'm using a tiny PSU, and have no drives at all.
