I have a 15 year old son that loves technology and is starting to get into *nix systems and network. I figure its a great time to let him set up and configure a firewall/router box and play with his own network. So far I set up PFSense 2.2 beta on a dual core Atom build and let him go hog wild. Thing is Pfsense is based on BSD and I think it would be a good idea to get him used to the Linux side of routing and firewalling. Recommendations? Of course I could have him load a distro from scratch too and build the stuff from scratch.. but I don't think anyone does that anymore.

Untangle is pretty good, and ubuntu based, it has a free version as well as trial to enterprise features.

it can install as a virtual appliance or on bare metal.

Not bad looking at all. Will give it a try. Thanks.
[edit] So.. most advanced stuff is paid only.
