diverge. Smoothwall is backed by a commercial company wheres IPCop is
community developed.

And? A variety of open source projects are backed by commercial entities, what difference does it make?

*sigh* I'm tired of trying to correct people on this point. The SmoothWall community is just as warm, friendly and first class as any other - a cursory visit to our forums should prove this point. I wish people wouldn't use one-to-two year old opinions when discussing a project which they admit they have no first hand experience of :(
