People often run m0n0wall instead.
There are a number of threads about it here.

and follow the links for loads of discussion. Also look generally in the Hardware section.
I have just got a 2nd hand Firebox X1000 - serial console, 6 10/100Mbps ports, 256MB memory. Loaded a current 2.1-BETA1 2GB image onto a CF card, installed, booted, assigned interfaces and away it went. I am not familiar with all the model numbering, so don't know what "Firebox 3" is exactly.
