Protect Your Network With an Open-Source Firewall

,----[ Quote ]
| SmoothWall Express 3.0 is an open source GNU/Linux firewall which is security-
| hardened and freely downloadable. By design, it has minimal hardware requirements 
| and a small footprint. It should work with nearly any Pentium class computer with 
| at least 128MB of RAM and a hard disk with a capacity of 2GB or greater. It'll 
| likely work with that PC you have sitting in your closet that you've been too lazy 
| to recycle. You'll want to have at least two network cards installed for basic use, 
| and three or more if you want to have a DMZ or incorporate a wireless network. Keep 
| in mind though, that your firewall's reliability is limited by the hardware on 
| which it's installed.

| SmoothWall provides robust features and usability, making it a good choice in
| spite of tough competition within its peer group. It makes complicated
| settings approachable and sets up filtering by default, which is considered
| advanced configuration in most other firewalls.

Linux Release: Enter Express 3.0! [Fanfare!]

,----[ Quote ]
| SmoothWall Express is a free GPL firewall distribution based on a
| security-hardened subset of the GNU/Linux operating system (2.6 Kernel).
| Express allows users to convert a spare computer into a dedicated âhardwareâ
| or network firewall that sits at the gateway, providing an extra layer of
| protection and saving valuable system resources. Development, testing and  
| maintenance is done on an active basis by a core team of programmers with
| indispensable assistance from an extensive user community.
