The IPFire project development team has announced the first beta release of an ARM port of version 2.11 of its open source firewall. IPFire is a Linux server distribution that can be booted from a CD or USB drive, or installed to a computer's internal drive.
The port of IPFire contains all of the same features as the standard full releases, but can be run on any Marvel Kirkwood system-on-a-chip (SoC) – such as that found in the SheevaPlug – or compatible ARM-based processor.

The developers expect to release another version for ARMv7hl, which includes embedded hardware floating point support, "in the near future".
