Another option is IPCOP, and also Mandrake Firewall as well, which is available 
as a free download, I've never used it so I don't know how good it is though. 
It all depends on what features you need etc. With IPCOP theres plenty of 
options to add extra services via some additinal programs that people have put 
together for it, including ad removal etc. Or you could use your favourite 
distro. IPCOP available here: http://www.ipcop.org/cgi-
bin/twiki/view/IPCop/WebHome adons availabe here: http://www.ipcop.org/cgi-
bin/twiki/view/IPCop/IPCopAddons

IPCOP is just as simple as Smoothwall.

Good luck
