I use Coyote Linux www.coyotelinux.com which is one of the few mini dists that
support PPPoE that my DSL connection needs.

Another one to look at is FrazierWall
http://home.kscable.com/wecoyote/frazierwall.html Ken Frazier did this one, and
he'll be doing a presentation on it in 3 weeks, on May 14th.

Both of these are offshoots of the Linux Router Project www.linuxrouter.org
Which distribution you choose will depend on your requirements for both features
and supported network cards.  My choices were restricted due to needing PPPoE
support, as most of the floppy dists don't support it.
