[GRLUG] Network gateway - Untangle

[Colin Vallance]

That looks pretty slick actually.  We have Sonicwall stuff here at  
work and I know a bit about how it can indeed be a pain.  I'm  
currently "converting" a WatchGuard box in to a firewall/router/WAP  
but that's just going to run bare bones pyramid linux.

If anyone indeed has played with untangle I'd be interested to hear  
about it as well.  Just the virus and spam blocker may be enough for  
me to give it a shot.
