[TriLUG] Firewall Appliance Recommendation?

[Pinkham]

The EdgeRouter Lite is Linux (vyatta derived), has a nice GUI and l2/l3
hardware acceleration so you get full gigabit routing capability even
with firewall rules.

About $90-100 depending on where you pick them up, small and silent.
I've been quite impressed with them so far, and they're my new network
swiss army knife for a number of applications.
