Dedicated Firewall Alternative

[nonroker]

I see alot of people here use Smoothwall or IPCop.
I've stumbled across another dedicated firewall distro.

It's based on FreeBSD, so you know it's rock solid.
It seems to have more features than the other 2 aswell []

yeah, very sweet alternative, really rock solid system, good functionality, many features, and full control over connection, even capable of sticking in a Wi-Fi card, and making it function as an AP!! []
little tricky to configure, seeing theres no install off cdrom option, the set up is done by dumping the image onto your HDD/memory card, once past that hurdle, its a very sweet app, slightly less n00b functional. it lacks uPnP functionality in smoothwall, then again IpCop also won't implement it due to security. I haven't tried this, but I'm sure with a bit of tweaking, one could incorporate linux-igd.
