Bootable CDROM-based Firewalls?

DNapalm asks: "I work at a small local ISP that is in desperate need of a firewall. We don't have much of a budget, so a hardware-based solution (which I'd prefer) really isn't an option. I've been searching around the web for firewall distributions, and I know what I am looking for. I'd like a boot CD (no install required, no filesystem hacking, just reboot) that stores the configuration on a floppy (that we can easily write protect). It should have a web interface and be able to log to a hard drive or some other machine. Some distributions I've found that seem close are Sentry Firewall, Devil-Linux, NetBoz, ClosedBSD, and Keeper Linux. Has anyone used these? Can you give recommendations? Any help would be appreciated."

The buzzword "synergy" kills me. What exactly are they synergizing there anyways? It makes me think of that Simpsons quote:

"Proactive? Paradigm? Aren't these just buzz words that stupid people use to sound smart?"
