[Cialug] firewall distros

[David Champion]

I'm looking at updating a dedicated linux firewall box, and was curious 
what people were using.

We've gone from a Coyote LRP system to a general purpose OS (currently 
Mandriva). We've never had a problem with the firewall box per se... but 
  would like it to be as secure as possible, and easy to use - some kind 
of gui/curses or html interface would be nice. The current system is 
using an iptables script, which isn't terrible to update, but not always 
the most user friendly.

Do any of them have the Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator included? The author 
of that did a presentation to the LUG a while back... it looked pretty 
slick - http://www.bandwidtharbitrator.com/

I've been doing some looking at distrowatch.com in the firewall distro 
category, but haven't decided on one yet.
