Don't know if it's good or not never used it but remember just recently seeing a new version of one on Distrowatch called Untangle; it's Debian-based:

Also you might want to look at:

http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=firewalls

ClarkConnect (Red Hat based) is interesting in that list too; though not specifically a firewall distro, it can be set up as such, plus it does much much more than just that. I used it as a Samba server once and it worked great.

Also from that list Astaro looks pretty good:

I am playing with pfSense and Smoothwall. Can anyone think of any other
firewall distros out there that are open source, but easy for users (not
admins, actual users, the /little people/ who are trying to remotely
connect to my cool server). Commercial support contracts are good too.

Barring that, anyone have a firewall appliance they less than three more
than any of these open source product?

Cheers guys,
