Have you tried labbing BSD vs Linux to see which you like better? I'd probably do that before throwing it in to production. --
Great advice Thomas! I will be creating a BSD virtual machine to get a feel however, with linux I can think broad scale and forcast better. With BSD, I am concerned with making choices that will shoot me in the foot. In essence, which BSD operating (Free vs OpenBSD) system is more widely supported, and proven successful for this task. I am talking about everything from hardware compatibility to software support for pfsense and openbgpd from the community. Finally, performance comparison to a present day Linux Kernel. PS conntrack optimization for IPTables. Been there done that... I am strong with Gentoo and am pretty sure can put together a rock solid machine, just don't want to turn a blind eye though yeah? N.
