I don't use shorewall but thought about it. Found it too
difficult to get up and running right away.

Mandriva Linux's installer made the initial Shorewall setup painless.

Firestarter come with a GUI that makes getting it up and running
and doing what you want all of a three minute process.

Mandriva Linux's Control Center is pretty well dumbed down for the new user.
Better GUI tweaking can be done through the Webmin application.

It does tend to choke the system logs with packet info and
I really wish it would not do that.

That is one of the things I like about Shorewall. I can tweak what
gets logged. It also has a blacklist file where I can just drop
by ip, ip range, port range, .... without logging.

I have a pretty quite log. I run a
xconsole -display wb:0 -geom 1032x50+400+00 -file /var/log/messages &
on my firewall which gives me view of the logged messages in realtime
on my web browsing box.
