It sure looks very capable, maybe we could do a presentation on it in the near future, I know, it is not linux, but it is open source for sure :-) It looks like a fork of m0n0, only double the functionality, very intresting.
I have also stumbled yesterday upon a Endian firewall, http://www.endian.it/en/community/ Yes i know it is Italian, just got the iso yesterday, will give it a whirl and tell you more about it. We could stitch a full presentation of these 2 firewalls including the extra features and a live demo of both one of those days.
