Besides, you'll have a much easier time getting OpenBSD on an old computer like that P60. If you go with OpenBSD, I can pass on a comprehensive pf.conf (packet filter) for OpenBSD 3.2 and later. Haven't messed with their traffic-shaper, sorry.
I'll vouch for OpenBSD's traffic shaper. I finally got around to replacing my FreeBSD firewall with OpenBSD 3.2 (<= 3.1 didn't support one of my ethernet cards) and I'm very impressed. I've got a pretty complicated network at home with an external network, a DMZ, a trusted internal network, and an untrusted internal network (for the neighbors). Because FreeBSD uses a userland NAT daemon and its ipfw doesn't support multiple rulesets, I never did get a firewall configuration that I really liked. However, OpenBSD's packet filter, NAT and the the traffic shaper were all really easy to set up, and yet can do everything exactly as I want it. I don't think you can get a better firewall, especially if you're on a lower-end system.
