RE: Linux Firewall Distributions

["Smith, Aaron" <SmithA () byui edu>]

I've played with MNF, Shorewall, and straight iptables.  I've also
recently started playing with m0n0wall
http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/index.php
M0n0wall seems like the simplest of the 4 for a standalone firewall
appliance, but nothing beats getting down and dirty with iptables.  You
might also look into a fortigate60

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/

Please let me know if you have used one of these linux firewall 
distributions and what your experience was (installation, configuration,

maintenance).

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Skander Ben Mansour
