Re: Suggestions for Open Source Internet Security Gateway Distro/Product

[Frank W Baker II <fbakerii () gmail com>]

I would suggest taking another look at Astaro(Sophos). It does take more hardware but I think the trade is worth it. I 
use the commercial version at work and a few of the free versions at home and family members houses. 

Thanks,
