Firstly, my hearty and sincere thanks to all who've contributed to IPCop over the years - I can't remember when I first installed IPCop, but it was on an old 486 Compaq desktop with 16 or 32MB of memory.

Can I suggest that, as an early step, a page is set up in the SF WiKi for each of the above alternatives for people who konw to contribute their experience / comments / advice about migrating to each alternate.  I'm sure that, for most, it'll be relatively easy, but every migration has some gotchas. :-(

Thanks again,
David
