Subject: Novice asks "OpenBSD best firewall?"



Hi I am putting together a network in a large house/dormitory.  I am going
to

be running some internet apps.  Is OpenBSD the best option to use for a

firewall?  Is there any purchaseable firewall software that I can buy that
works

well and will save time (I'm also not footing the bill for this, so price
isn't

as much of a factor)?  McAfee Firewall seems so gumby, but I'm not sure
about

OpenBSD.

 

 Thanks for any help in advance.
