I beg your pardon, but IPcop, SmoothWall and such are far far inferior to Astaro and they definitely do not have the same abilities, they are not even in the same league. I especially find SmoothWall's and IPcop's lacking support for any sort of advanved packet filter rule set editing very disturbing.
Astaro is so vastly superior. If you want to compare it with something, you should compare it with CheckPoint or Raptor and other professional products.
IPCop & Co. are OK for home users, I agree with that. But this article was clearly referring to company use, where you may require content filtering and other advanced features that only a professional product such as Astaro (and others in that segment, e.g. CheckPoint, Raptor, SmoothWall Ltd., SonicWall<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...) offer.
