Dell PowerEdge 1550 / Firewall Question

I am putting some servers into a data center in downtown la for a hosting business. I want to put a firewall between the internet and these servers so I recently purchased an older poweredge 1550 to put the ipcop distro of linux on with the intention of making it a highly customizable firewall. The only problem is that it comes with the scsi drives and it's on a raid 5 array so the stock ipcop installer will not recognize the logical drive. Would anyone happen to know if any of the drivers on the dell site will work with the ipcop distro of linux?

Assuming this doesn't end up working out, does anyone have any suggestions for a different firewall solution to use for a hosting company?

Thanks for your help!
 
try Smoothwall or Monowall (not sure on their support)

Otherwise, you could just roll your own firewall with any old linux distro (I do this for our colo stuff)
