Firewall/Router/Spam filter

I want to setup a spare system as a firewall/router/spam filter. What
distro is recommended? I'm pretty much a newbie at linux and something
with a web interface for configuration would be nice.

If possible, something that has a web filter (to block non-child safe
web content) would be nice as well.

Thanks,
Mike
