My best advise would be to learn how to use iptables and code up a firewall script yourself.  If you want to have a dedicated "firewall" box then something like Smoothwall or IPCop will be good for someone who wants an easy to use all in one solution. 

However for educations sake there is nothing quite like knowing how it all works and being able to put it together by hand.
