smoothwall - first impression



Hi!
Just installed the latest beta. It realy starts up with wiping out the
harddisk , repartition etc.
The firewalling is based on ipchains. Now that iptables is available I'd
rather use iptables since it does real stateful inspection. While GUI is
nice to have, the quality of the s/w doing the real work underneath is
more important.
It is relativly easy to set  up a good iptables fw + dhcp + web proxy +
(caching)nameserver with regular distribution (i.e. Mandrake 8.0 ). If its
beyond your capabilities, maybe you shouldn't be managing a fw at all?
