If you got some old hardware(and most of us do!), try SmoothWall. http://www.smoothwall.org/

"SmoothWall is intended for use by anyone from home users to systems administrators. It can run on virtually any 32-bit Intel or i386-compatible PC from a 486 to an Athlon or Pentium 4, and it enables that PC to become a dedicated firewall appliance, aka a SmoothWall box. Apart from the PC to run SmoothWall on, all that is required is an Internet connection, some simple networking equipment to connect the SmoothWall box to the rest of your private LAN, and the SmoothWall CD image file."

I personally have not tried it, but the TV show "The Screensavers" highly recommends it.

Just thought I would throw it out there.
