They are both pretty bad, but at least Checkpoint's has a nice GUI and
(mostly) does what it is supposed to.
Sidewinder has nicer specs, although it is really a big piece of junk
made out of obsolete software on top of a tampered, once nice but now
mostly obsolete OS (BSDi 2.0, two version behind recent releases).
Want I good firewall? Build your own using freely available software
(qmail, squid, socks, fwtk, ipchains, ipfilter, ... ) on top of a free
unix.
Just my opinion.
