Shorewall users - Jan 2005 - Linux distros and PPTP passthrough

Any recommendations for a Linux distro to put Shorewall on top of? 
My main concern is to be able to use a Windows NT PPTP VPN server behind 
the firewall.  If I remember right, there were some issues with passing 
GRE traffic through some versions of the Linux kernel.  Are they solved 
now or do I still have to do some cryptic kernel patches?
Experiences with that?

Thanks!

Standard kernels still don''t have PPTP connection-tracking/NAT support.
Neither do kernels from SuSE and from Debian. Last time I ran Mandrake,
the Drake kernel had that support but it was broken and PPTP didn''t
work
at all with the modules loaded.
