Advice requested for OpenBSD vs. Linux/OpenBGP vs. Quagga router deployment.

[Marc Runkel <MRunkel () untangle com>]

Greetings all,

We are a software development firm that currently delivers our install ISOs via Sourceforge.  We need to start serving 
them ourselves for marketing reasons and are therefore increasing our bandwidth and getting a 2nd ISP in our 
datacenter.  Both ISPs will be delivering 100mbit/sec links.  We don't expect to increase that for the next year or so 
and expect average traffic to be about 40-60mbit/sec.

We are planning to run two OpenBSD based firewalls (with CARP and pf) running OpenBGP in order to connect to the two 
ISPs.

I saw from previous email that Quagga was recommended as opposed to OpenBGP.  Any further comments on that?  Also,  any 
comments on the choice of OpenBSD vs. Linux?

I don't want to start a religious war :-) Just curious about what most folks are doing and what their experiences have 
been.

Thanks in advance,
