IPFire is a linux based firewall distribution with a lot of extras. The base for the stable version 1.4.9 was the IPCop that has been hardly modified. There were added: Asterisk PBX, Samba, MorningReconnect, LPR-NG and many other things.

I've always been a fan of Shorewall and Firestarter - what have you used as a good base firewall setup? Any thoughts how this will match up in an enterprise server environment?
