linux is very generic, if you look at the linux from scratch project, you can build a system to do whatever you want it to do. you can build a system with dpkg, rpm, and portage support. think of it as a cloud of programs and distros wrap a few programs together to form a working system. iptables is the first thing i think about from your question. i use openwrt on a linksys router, and sure enough iptables. i also have a 24 port switch, that i could build a pc to manage the firewall, dns, hosts, dhcp, iptables, etc.
