Subject: [fw-wiz] Linux Firewall Distributions

Hi Firewall-Wizards,

Does anyone have experience with Linux based Firewall/Router distributions ?

I am looking for a cost-effective firewall capable of handling three 
security domains (Internal Network, the Internet, and a DMZ) for a SOHO.

A hardened linux box running NetFilter/IPtables with three network cards 
looks like a good fit.
However, I would also welcome suggestions regarding low-budget hardware 
firewalls meeting these requirements.

I believe that the now defunct Linux Router Project 
(http://www.linuxrouter.org/) has left some successors:

http://leaf.sourceforge.net/
http://www.smoothwall.org/
http://www.devil-linux.org/

Other possibilities:

Mandrake's Linux Multi-Network Firewall

Astaro Security Linux
http://www.astaro.com/

However, worked with neither: this is an all-Pix shop moving to SidewinderG2
