correction: Astaro only ist partially open source.
Open parts are:
- kernel
- os
- filter (netfilter, Linux 2.4)
- mail-proxy (qmail/exim)
- http-proxy (squid)
Closed parts are:
- admin interface
- AntiVirus
- Content Scanner
Compared to similar-priced boxes (SonicWall, RapidStream, Netscreen) the
Astaro features fully usable connected networks (not just some nat-ish
bridging and DMZ cripples), fully fledged NAT between all networks (not
just 1:n to external), grouping for network objects and services, SSH
and admin from admin-defined networks (not just from "any internal"),
proper VPN.

PS: all IMHO and personal view, of course
