since FW1 has announced that they will be porting over to linux http://www.informationweek.com/story/IWK19991105S0006 this could make things interesting although i seriously doubt that FW1 will become open source.. also IMHO they are going to have a difficult time convincing linuxians to switch from ipchains/ipfwadm or whatever the next rev will be called which i can't remember to FW1.
