feasability check - P133 as router/server



Hi,
  I'm planning a network connection at home for my 3 PCs. I would like to
head your advice whether or not my plan is feasable, and will it work well.
  I plan to have a P133 with 48Mb ran 40Gb HD (5400RPM) be a server/ router/
firewall for an ADSL connection. It would be connected with one NIC to a
switch.
  To the switch I'll connect the ADSL modem (Orckit) and the two
workstations (Lin/Win dual boot).

  The P133 should also serve as a printer server for an HP710 printer and a
SMABA/NFS server for file sharing. It may also run a very small web server
and several minimal shell accounts.

My questions are:
 1) Is the P133 with 48Mb of RAM strong enough for this plan?
 2) Can the HP710 printer be shared for linux/windows use easily?
 3) Is the switch with one NIC configration for the router OK?

Thanks in advance,
  Alon
