While I'm not Lars, I strongly bring up the differences between an
appliance and a PC based system.
I would call IPCop, running on any PC, no matter how limited the PC is,
a personal firewall. IPCop is about as close to a appliance as you can
get without being an appliance, it's a very good choice for a limited
firewall that is also secure.
The key thing with IPCop is not having anything available other than the
firewall config - nothing else can run on it.
