Devil-Linux distro bundles router/firewall and server in one live CD (Linux.com)

Linux.com has a review of Devil-Linux. "Devil-Linux uses the Linux From Scratch (LFS) build system, which means you can customize the distribution easily. The latest version is 1.2.15, which runs on an old kernel 2.4.36.6, but with mostly updated router, firewall, and server services. Devil-Linux uses the usual iptables and Netfilter firewalls to create rules and open source services that can support routing protocols such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). It supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) by including the necessary services, and it features a firewall builder tool to aid in setting up the firewall policies. For improved security, it also includes the grsecurity patch to protect the distribution's kernel."
