You may want to stress that in comparison, but also realize that this is comparing the LRP to a Cisco Router, NOT a LEAF Project image to a Cisco PIX firewall. PIXen are a totally different animal than a Cisco router - not least of which is because their IOS is less capable and flexible - and the simple change to the 2.4 Kernel and introduction of Shorewall and IPTables completely changes the way LEAF handles stuff compared to LRP.

Looks like Issue 100 (August 2002) of Linux Journal. I'm having a bit of difficulty actually pulling it up on their website, however. That might be just a slow load... ah, there we go. Just give it a little bit and it will come up just fine.
And frankly, having worked with both LEAF (specifically, Bering + Shorewall) and Cisco PIXes, a LEAF box is far more powerful, flexible, and rugged. Not to mention being cheaper.
Here's a link to the article:

Hi folks,
Management wants to buy a CISCO PIX firewall because they have no confidence
in a "free" firewall product. I've told them to reconsider and thought it
would help if I could find that article in Linux magazine that compared the
two...but I can't find which month/year it was. Does anyone know which month
and year that was??? Thank you.
Craig
