Hardware: Pentium II 266 MHz, 96MB RAM

I need to make this a gateway - routing, firewall and potentially squid
too.

I am trying to figure out which would be the best distro/OS to use.
Currently I am considering Debian, Slackware and FreeBSD/OpenBSD

Most important for me is that everything needs to work and secondly it
shouldnt be too much of a pain to maintain.

I would request feedback in technical merits rather than declaration of
holy war :).

Personally I know zipslack 10 runs fine and Fedora Core 1 brought it
down to a crawl. Obviously there will be no X Windows or any desktop
productivity applications running on it. Squid ofcourse might be a
problem.
