There's a bootable CD OpenBSD firewall here. Somewhere on the same site they also have documentation for creating your own, but I can't remember the link off the top of my head.
There are of course more out there that I haven't listed but this should suffice for now.
Thanks for this list. It is really appreciated. Had no idea that all these existed. I have added all the links you gave to the Linux Starter's Thread in my Signature line. Anymore would be really appreciated.

Erm, none of the BSD family are Linux distributions. They all use BSD-derived kernels, not Linux kernels. Although they do use some GNU utilities, many of the utilities are BSD licensed instead. In fact, OpenBSD is trying hard to erradicate all GNU utilities from the default installation.
Besides, Linux isn't really GNU any way. There are some distributions of Linux that are GNU software, but I don't believe the kernel itself is and certainly there are many distributions which are not. Also, GNU has their own OS called HURD.

Agreed with all of the above. However, in the thread on the other board, all Free OSs are discussed. That thread is quite flexible. Even MS is discussed sometimes in relation to Free OS.
Freesbie can't be installed on the harddrive yet, but there working on it. Not sure about bandwidth control and alcatel usb support, but I'm sure the links posted above might be able to help..
