I have been using linux-based firewall for some time now. Tried IpCop twice, since it would help simply the whole process. Gave up. It simply doesn't provide with enough flexibility or customization, without going into more trouble than I would have using a "generic" distro (RedHat, Conectiva, CentOS etc). Of course, I do need a high degree of customization, so your mileage will vary. Installed a CentOS firewall today, btw. Worked like a charm.
And that's fine, not trying to tell you what to do. Just wanted to make you aware of IPCop if you weren't already.
BTW, when I need more flexibility in services (e.g., Proxy, VPN, etc...), I _do_ setup a FC/RHEL/CentOS server in the DMZ zone of an IPCop box.
