Suggestions for Open Source Internet Security Gateway Distro/Product

[Jason Drury <druryjason () yahoo com>]

Folks,

I would like to setup an Internet security box for my home network for firewalling, dhcp, IDS, web filtering, and 
possibly VPN. It has been a long time since I've looked at the various Linux security distros that do this (I think 
Astaro Security was the best choice back then). 

I did a few searches and it seems like there are a LOT of distros/products available now.

Here are just a few I came across:

1. Untangle - http://www.untangle.com/
2. Vyatta - http://www.vyatta.org/
3. Zentyal - http://www.zentyal.org/
4. Sophos UTM (formley Astaro) - http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-utm-home-edition.aspx
5. Engarde Linux - http://www.engardelinux.org/
6. Smoothwall - http://www.smoothwall.org/
7. ClearOS - http://www.clearfoundation.com/Software/overview.html

I do not care if it is gui or cli based. I would prefer something based on Debian/Ubuntu, but not absolutely necessary.

Does anyone have any experience with the above distros/products or could you recommend something else you like?

Thanks,
Jason
