I want to use debian like gateway to my other windows and some linux computers at home, so I need som good firewall on debian.
Debian comes with some firewalling built in, and there are many, many add-ons. You can start at http://www.linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/ and determine what will work for you.

YOu could use snort if you wanted to.
While Snort is useful, it's not a firewall. It's an intrusion detection system. See http://snort.sourcefire.com/. Ken
