Good point, I also did this for cash reasons and would just buy hardware 
on the used market today. As far as OS, I was using stripped down FreeBSD. 
I started with Linux, but at the time they did not support radix trees so 
routing tables killed the box. If I HAD to do it again I would still say 
away from Linux. 

Yes I'd stick to NetBSD - when we first deployed it Linux didn't support
VLSM! [Nor did SunOS/Solaris]

Regards,
Neil.
