#SmoothWallExpress 3.1 Update 12/SP6 has been released (#SmoothWall / #Firewall / #Security / #Linux / #LinuxFromScratch / #LFS / #IPCop / #IPFire) https://www.smoothwall.org/

What linux distros do people pick for firewall/router type uses?

I've generally just gone with debian as I do for everything else.

Others prefer something like ipfire, or maybe one of the WRT-style things. They seem to update a little less often than seems right to me - surely they're just as susceptible to kernel vulnerabilities etc?

ipfire also seems not to support IPv6 yet.

Thoughts?
