IPCop (http://www.ipcop.org) worked well for me. I used v1.1 through v1.3 on a 486 with 3 NICs as my home firewall. It did exactly what I needed it to do with no fuss. Upgrades / patches were easy. Download path file to machine inside the firewall then use the web interface to install the patch. I did the initial install using one floppy disk and an FTP server inside my home network. Again the install was no fuss. I retired the 486 when I bought a netgear RP614 hardware firewall / 4 port switch. I miss being able to read the firewall logs to see what viruses are active locally and seeing how often the script kiddies port scanned me. I do not miss the constant hum of the 486 power supply fan...
