LRP is what alot of folks have used. You could also use Mandrake firewall.

Freesco www.freesco.org is another one that a lot of people use/recommend around here.

Smoothwall is another one that has a happy, friendly user interface. 🙂

With the exception of BBIAGENT, all other floppy based Linux Router distributions require similiar modifications like coyote linux does...
Other floppy disk routers you can check out are:

Eigsterstein (do a search for Charles Steinkuehler) He has a website with plenty of docs for LRP and Eigerstein.

Link to Steinkuehler site

Frazierwall (like Coyote but a different flavor) again floppy based.

If you have a pentium class computer with a harddrive you may want to give
Clark connect Gateway a shot....
Link to clark connect gateway

It is based on Red hat 7.2 and uses the new IPTABLES instead of the older IPCHAINS and IPMASQM
It has a Web interface with port forwarding and is quit easy to use. (although you still have to edit a script if you want to play on the Zone.)
It has intrusion detection, and options for an FTP server, Apache server (web server) and photo album. The downside is that it requires some harddrive space... But it requires less knowledge of Linux like the other floppy based routers do.

The easiest so far has been Clark Connect Gateway for opening ports and forwarding ports.!
