 I've been using
 IPFire for two years now and am quite happy with it.  It
 has VRRP and IDS/IPS as well, which were good bonuses for my
 usage.  The core team is really good at getting updates
 out, especially for security fixes.

 I love IPCop and it's been
 the only firewall distro I've ever used (over 10 years
 now). But, development is slow and it shouldn't be.
 Thus, I've been considering switching to
 something else that's much more active. The only problem
 is I don't know what to switch to. :/

Don't like IpFire one bit .
I currently have only three sites using IpCop v1.4.x since I had
 a lot of issues with blocking traffic and DMZ on v2.1.x so I was
forced to downgrade back to v1.4.x.


For the rest of the sites I was _saved_ by Mikrotik.
It lacks some functionality that is paramount and easy to use
on IpCop but it saved me on remote locations where there
exist Voltagage outages and fluctuations.
Not the same with ipcop. Not because of ipcop per se. More
of the fact that it runs on PC hardware that is prone to faults
and very sensitive to such issues.
