Endian Firewall http://www.efw.it/ is another one based on IP-COP (like smoothwall). It has a number of features that neither IP-COP or Smoothwall has, like proxies for mail, sip, ftp (iirc), scanning for virus/spyware on the web proxy, mailscanning, and a few others. Most of these are available as IP-COP addons, but the problem is, at least in my experience, that most of these addons break when you run the IP-COP updates. http://www.closedbsd.org/ Based on OpenBSD - haven't tried it but it looks nice.
