<P><FONT SIZE=2>Aye, that's why I said a bit :).. Like I said though, it depends what</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>you want to use it for. OpenBSD right now has the most completely</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>IPSec implementation out of any other OS that I know of including</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>commercial ones, so it of course makes a very good ipsec gateway (and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I use it for that quite a bit). It also makes a very good firewall</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>in my experience. However, I sort of meant that if he wanted a box</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>at home that had a basic install, but still had speed and the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>flexibility of having a lot more ports to choose from should he so</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>choose to install them. Then FreeBSD might be a more logical choice.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> I was weighing the options :).. As for my signature, that's just</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>what i've seen in my experience, but not set in stone because it's my</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>signature. Take it lightly.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>begin Jason DiCioccio quotation:</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>> OpenBSD is indeed very minimalistic but it is a bit on the slow</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> side for a couple reasons.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>A _bit_, but not badly. I had it as a filtering router and a number</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>other roles for a while, and didn't feel much lossage. FreeBSD is of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>course much faster. I'll try to have suitable versions of both on</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>hand</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>for this weekend's combined CABAL/BALUG InstallFest and BAFUG/BABUG</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Install-a-thon.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> BSD is for people who love Unix -</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Linux is for people who hate Microsoft</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I kinda barely remember a Microsoft. Didn't they use to make mice</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>keyboards?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But of course you're just trying to be gratuitously obnoxious, right?</FONT>
