That largely depends on how much time you've got I'm afraid --

everything which Smoothwall is doing can be implemented in different

ways, using free tools. Whether you want to spend 2 weeks tinkering

about and implementing your 'perfect' setup is probably a cost:benefit

decision you need to make ;)

The most important question, in my opinion: does the product do what

you want, is it 99% there?

As to whether the product is good - only you can answer that :) That's

like asking, "How long is a piece of string?" or "What is the best

editor?" -- it will always cause people of different opinions to spout

"It's complete bollocks" vs "It's the best thing ever" and none of

those people are you, so it's pretty irrelevent spouting!
