Another thumbs up for IPCop.  I started off with SmoothWall and then
made the move to IPCop.  Main reason is that I found IPCop more 'open'
to making changes and doing your own thing with the firewall in
comparison to SmoothWall's "this is ours and you shouldn't play with
it" attitude.  YMMV
Also very small and easy to get going is m0n0wall 
http://m0n0.ch/wall/  that is based on FreeBSD.

Good Luck :)
