Heh, not really. Not without doing something funky involving reinstalling win2k and win98 on another machine, which'd result in freeing a whole 2gig. Not really worth the effort, especially considering it'd make the thing a whole lot noisier than a no-hdd setup.
I really don't think the average home DSL user needs super security. Or much security at all really. So you can get linux to be super secure, so *nothing* will get through... great. There're big corps out there that require that sort of security, but really, anything more than common sense and a basic firewall is overkill for anything at home.
It doesn't matter that linux is more secure than windows. if a plane flies, it flies; if all you want it to do is fly, then it doesn't matter how high it flies. (and i know very little about setting up security on anything linux; the higher you fly, the worse you crash...)
Ahem. sorry. (/rant)
Am thinking all I'd is a quick rundown on setting up a PPPoE connection in DSL, and a way to share that connection over the network, and some kind of firewall (peace of mind, if nothing else). Won't need DCHP. Does DSL have an uncomplicated firewall app at all? Failing that is there one i could download that DSL could load off a floppy disk or something whenever it needed?

Your brave. I use Sygate on mine at the moment, and I'm looking into a Linux firewall and security systems.
