If you are looking for something to be a basic home firewall I would recommend you look at ClosedBSD (small, fast, runs off of CD, easy to configure, doesn't have a bizallion options). If you're looking for a stable server to host basic file, print, app, web, etc., FreeBSD is a little easier to seal with than Open or NetBSD, especially on x86 platforms. But then again, if you know RH Linux and don't have a strong reason to change you should probably just use it. -- Paradise; can it be all I heard it was? I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there.
