sko points out the existence of m0n0wall. This operating system is based on FreeBSD and was developed to turn a PC into a firewall and a web server with PHP support. The latest version of m0n0wall is numbered 1.0 and te to download in different flavours. It changelog of this release looks like this:

1.0

• fixed port validation on filter, shaper and NAT pages, and fixed ranges that include 1 or 65535
• fixed configuration backup download problem with Internet Explorer
• fixed typo on general setup page
• show hostname on system status page
• traffic shaping now works on bridged interfaces
• added note about proxy ARP to NAT pages
• changed DNS override description on system setup page (DNS servers assigned via PPP on WAN don’t work)
• imported modified version of choparp that supports IP address ranges; modified webGUI to allow proxy ARP with ranges
• uploaded images are now verified using public-key cryptography – if the digital signature is not correct, a warning is displayed (the user is allowed to continue anyway though). The format of the signed images can be found here, and the public key used to verify the images is here. This release has not been signed to avoid problems when upgrading older versions (it wouldn’t make sense anyway because pb versions do not verify it).
