Smoothwall是一系列的Internet安全產品，它被設計用來保護你的用戶和網絡免受外來的攻擊。Smoothwall Express基于Linux操作系統。對安全系統而言Linux是一個理想的選擇，它是可信賴的、安全的、具有高度可定制性并可免費獲得其開放源碼。Smoothwall包含一套經過加固的GNU/Linux操作系統，因此，無需再單個地安裝其他系統。Smoothwall被設計為易于使用，并通過基于web的圖形用戶界面來進行配置。它并不要求用戶具有Linux方面的知識就能安裝和使用。

Neal Murphy has announced the availability of the fifth release candidate for Smoothwall Express 3.1, a Linux-based operating system designed for firewalls and routers: "Smoothwall Express 3.1 fifth release candidate available. A note about previous RCs: if you are running RC1, RC2, RC3, RC4 or an earlier RC5 daily build, you must install RC5 ASAP. OpenSSL had a major bug that could leak data to unauthorized parties. Second, IPv6 was not correctly firewalled before RC4; there's a small chance your UI and/or SSH could be accessed from RED via a link-local address; this bug is present in Roadster, too. This release is a refresh of 3.0's foundation and a culmination of five years of effort that began with the Roadster Test Vehicle. The build system has been thoroughly worked over, and the user interface has been freshened with several presentation improvements." See the full release announcement for a complete changelog.
