In the thread "What distro are you using?" I noticed a few people on the 
list are using some version of BSD for their firewall. I have a few 
questions about BSD firewalls.

Why did you choose BSD over Linux?
Why did you choose the BSD you chose?
What firewall software do you use? I think NetBSD and FreeBSD can use 
pf, ipfw and ipf.
Do you configure the firewall by hand, or use something like FWBuilder? 
(That is what I use for iptables.)
