I am currently using the Bering Linux distribution from the LEAF Embedded Network Appliance project for my firewall, which I have build using Lachko's old 233 MHz AMD K-2 box (32 MB RAM). It is pretty neat because it works on one diskette/no hard drive, uses 2.4.x Linux kernel (currently 2.4.18), and supports netfilter/iptables. I was planning to use Astaro firewall, which I have deployed in one site; however, they are now charging for the recent version and I think it's time I got my hands a tad dirtier with Linux firewalling. BTW - Astaro is a pretty nice product - their VPN support is pretty spiffy, and their user forum is great.
