firewall linux distro

[dagski]

good day linux gurus!

is there any robust, stable linux distro built intended to be a firewall + broadband gateway?
i intend to use this in a soho environment.

ey guys, i think i'll give m0n0wall (http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/) a spin

Any minimal Linux install will do as long as it has all the pre-requisites that a firewall would have such as iptables.

i tried that with redhat9.0 @ work but i took me a while to harden (paranoia in mind) its security & admin tools. so i opted for a distro thats install & go.i'v been using monowall for a couple of weeks now.somehow it does what it supposed to do..
