I still use Smoothwall on one of my firewalls and am very happy with it. 
Use it if you'd like to find an easily administered, fairly secure drop-in
firewall solution.  It uses a web management interface similar to those
seen on the Linksys dsl routers...very nice and easy.  Also has dyndns.org
and other dynamic dns clients built-in.

1.0 uses 2.2.x kernels, so only ipchains.  The 2.0 beta uses 2.4.x and
iptables.  Has an automatic update through the gui.

I highly recommend it.  My "smoothie" is running on a pentium 120mhz with
16 mb ram.
