Personally I'd go with OpenBSD with pf. It's real easy to use, much more powerful than IP Tables, and, well just better. I've been running OpenBSD firewalls for a few years now, before that my favorite was FreeBSD with ipfw(before bridging was common in linux). All of my BSD firewalls are bridging firewalls.

The most annoying thing about OpenBSD is the partitioning setup during installation....

you might check out pfSense, which is a hybrid of freebsd kernel with the openbsd pf stuff, and a nice web gui for managing it. can run on very minimal hardware, booting from a tiny flashcard

Thanks Nate and John. This will surely become one of the projects of mine in the future. Again, thanks for the inputs.
