Pairings

I was curious about the heritage of the remaining potential solutions, so I researched and compiled the following list:

Free/Open/NetBSD
mOnOwall - Security
Smoothwall - Security
pfSense - Security
Comixwall - Security UTM
FreeNAS - File Server

Red Hat/RHEL/Fedora /CentOS
Clark Connect - Security
Endian - Security UTM
IPCop - Security
PBX In A Flash - SELECTED - VoIP
MythDora - HTPC
SME Server - File Server
CentOS Server (roll own) - File Server

Debian/Ubuntu
Vyatta - Security
Untangle - Security UTM
Mythbuntu - HTPC
Knoppmyth - HTPC
EnGarde - File Server
Ubuntu Server (roll own) - File Server
Debian Server (roll own) - File Server

Slackware/Suse
Astaro - Security UTM

Independent Package / Application
Freevo - HTPC
MythTV - HTPC
VMware - Virtualization
Virtual Box- Virtualization

MikroTik RouterOS - This choice was eliminated because I cannot find a support community. The documentation is not as good as with other solutions.

eBox Platform - This choice was eliminated because the user forums and documentation need to be improved or edited. There does not seem to be much activity on the user forums. This platform, however, does look like it has a lot of promise.
