Freesco was a piece of cake to set up to use my cable modem. If you want to export some services, port forwarding is easy enough. It just plain runs. It painlessly handled Comcast's migration from the @home service to their own comcast.net service. Gets my IP via DHCP. I've got it running on a P100 with 32 MB Ram, 2 NICs and a floppy. No hd required.

Haven't tried Smoothwall.
