Astaro is a good cost effective solution, that has lots of goodies like a
seamless integration with AD that simplifies a lot the administration of
rules.
In includes a good Firewall service as well as VPN client, Proxy server,
etc.

Subject: firewalls

So I need some advice on firewall security. I use ubuntu servers at work and
am very comfortable with debian.  At work we have a cisco piz
firewall....however another smaller company we help doesn't have the budget
or staff for a pix firewall.  I was considering using a distro like redwall
or smoothwall and was wondering if anyone had any experience with dedicated
distros like these.  Also do these distros offer better security then larger
installations?
