I use IPCop. It is a purpose-built Linux distribution that converts a
computer into a dedicated gateway/ router appliance -- e.g. an IPCop machine
only functions as a gateway/ router, it is not designed to be, nor should it
be used as, a general-purpose Linux machine. You should look around the
IPCop web site to determine if IPCop will meet your needs:
http://www.ipcop.org/
IPCop is dead simple to install. Install the desired number (2 to 4) of
supported network interface cards, boot the CD, fill out a couple of
configuration screens, and you're done. Ongoing administration is performed
via a secure web interface accessible from the LAN (green) side.
If you want a general-purpose Linux machine that is hardened against attack,
Debian is a viable choice. There are various tools and features that can be
used to harden Debian -- Bastille, NSA SE Linux enhancements, trip wire, and
lots of others. (My Debian box is behind an IPCop firewall and only
accessible via ssh using secure passwords, so I don't know as much as I
should about hardening Debian.) There's lots of info out there on this
subject.
HTH,
