I love RH and FC...but have you considered smoothwall?  
www.smoothwall.org   It's a purpose built linux kernel based firewall 
solution.  I know you want to use Gnome and read and write CD's but for 
a Pentium Class machine I think you're looking for more than the 
hardware will make happen for you.  If all you want is a firewall 
there's a number of good apps out there.  I use smoothwall and have been 
happy with it's performance.

YMMV
