Subject: firewalls

So I need some advice on firewall security. I use ubuntu servers at
work and am very comfortable with debian.  At work we have a cisco piz
firewall....however another smaller company we help doesn't have the
budget or staff for a pix firewall.  I was considering using a distro
like redwall or smoothwall and was wondering if anyone had any
experience with dedicated distros like these.  Also do these distros
offer better security then larger installations?
