Yes, I'm running it for around two weeks now. So far it's running
absolutely fabulous.
I did head a lot of FUD about this product (on Linux, I've been using
Firewall-1 on other platforms for years) before installing it, but so
far the only issue (as these things are called din corporatlandia) is
that if you take the fw down for any reason ("./fwstop") you'll have to
restart the network cards ("/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" or
ifconfig down and up for the non RH among us) or the network cards start
blasting you with kernel messages about some lack of memory - my guess
is that FW-1 forgets to unregister some hook it's using. However after
doing the restart everything is back to normal.
Nir Simyonovitch (Sorry if I didn't get your name right, dude ;-) told
me he saw major problems using FW-1 on Linux with INTEL NICs (the
eepro100's) so I didn't use those.

Nir S. (from Artnet) cited for me some cool numbers on completely
unofficial tests he made with FW-1 on NT, Solaris x86 and Linux. If i
got him correctly nunberswise Linus needs not be ashamed of his beast
