IPCOP just seems to work out of the box
Firewall, internet sharing, DHCP, and a very workable VPN
I would suggest though if you want to play and experiment to do that on a
different box to your firewall web access

If you just want a Linux firewall you can just download a copy of
Smoothwall which is a self contained distro. Installs in about 10 mins
and works great. The only problem is it won't give you much exposure to
Linux as it is all hidden away!!

If you can get red hat all the better but be prepared for some head
scratching once installed to understand how it all fits together.
