Linux tips & tricks | Linux for sysadmins -- IPFire, a user friendly Linux firewall
For advanced home LAN users, small businesses, and charity organizations a great way to build an inexpensive but powerful firewall is to throw two network cards in an old PC and installing Linux.
If you don't have advanced Linux firewall/networking skills yet, there are a few ways to make it work. Pfsense is one way. This looks like another one.
I've never used it myself, but I thought it was worth sharing.
One thing I find interesting about it is that it's a purpose built, from scratch system. Not a general purpose distro like Fedora or Ubuntu hacked up and modified for firewall duty. It also seems to have a pretty decent administration system and firewall management interface.
