*STABLE* and free Linux Firewall distribution
I would need a recommendation for as stable as possible free Linux firewall solution.
I would install it into Virtual machine to run on Windows server, and than route all traffic through it.
The main purpose of the FW would be to protect Terminal Server open port.

No. Altho that wouldn't be such a bid deal, if server is locked down well! :)
what extra protection you want to add to TS port that windows firewall cannot do.
*ANY* linux distribution includes iptables/netfilter and uses close to mainstream kernel. Except for mayor engineering failures they are all very stable and very alike.

Well, It is not the problem in Windows firewall, I am thinking more about one more layer of security between the server and the internet.

Do you want a Linux virtual machine to run on a terminal server?
