With all this talk of firewall distro's, what exactly are the disadvantages to running running your firewall on the same server as your webserver / ftp server / ssh server? I run one box in basement that does all of the above, and I use shorewall for setting up iptables. It's also the samba / fileserver for my family, hosting my music and pictures, and some gallery sites for my kids. All on my standard Roadrunner account. Just curious.
