I want to use it as a sandbox to play with web technologies. But mainly I'd like to be able to set it up to serve a small site, like a splash page for the home network. Like, if the roomie comes home and connects, he'll be redirected to the local site first.
You may be able to eat your cake and have it too with virtualization Virtual Box, KVM [1]. In one VM you can play with your web technologies. In another you can create your proxy server and have your captive portal etc. Suggest two physical NICs for the second VM. In the 2nd VM, you can install ipfire, zeroshell, pfsense or any other "appliance" distro that provides "gateway" features. [1] Need hardware virtualization in system BIOS and CPU.
