also CP works like a charm on Centos 3 and you get the benefit of a

SPLAT might be too stripped down for your taste, but it is still an
excellent option for many people considering deploying a Checkpoint
firewall. It may be based on an older version of RHEL, but it works as
advertised and Checkpoint will support it if you call them.
Added the thought that anything else you put on that hardware is another
liability that may have an impact on your security.
Another issue is the amount of RAM. On an enforcement unit I see little
use for anything over 2 GB RAM. I mean it will make a nice cache on your
disk but most people will run out bandwith before they run out of memory.
