I've been using ClarkConnect community edition for over 2 years as a router and filtering web proxy among other things. I switched from IPCop at the time. It's really good and low maintenance and offers a lot of features out of the box.

A few months ago, the PIII box I had running CC died. I pulled the hard drive out and put it in a completely different system and it worked right away. All I had to do was reconfigure the network adapters.

All I'm missing at this point is AD integration.
