m0n0 is pretty friendly since it has the GUI front end. There's also pfsense (http://www.pfsense.com/). It's based on the m0n0 way of admining a firewall, but uses pf and openbsd. IIRC, m0n0 is still using ipf and freebsd. I haven't tried pfsense yet, and it is still under development so I'm not sure how stable it is. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
