Try OpenBSD :) I'm a big fan of OpenBSD. It's
got a lot of features that
other BSD's, and Linux distros lack. It has an easy to use NAT setup called
IPF, which has a very simply filtering syntax.
My recommendation on an intel or alpha platform -- FreeBSD 4.2 (release date
should be tomorrow or later tonight).
I've been running it since 1.02 here.
It's got ipfilter, ipf... and is easier to set up than OpenBSD
and more secure and reliable than Linux.
If you're running on Sparc, Vax, 68k, PowerPC -- take a look at both
OpenBSD and NetBSD to see which one supports your hardware better.
I'm waiting for a CDROM image of NetBSD 1.5 to appear on the net so I
can set up my Vaxstation to dual boot (one 2gb of VAX/VMS one of
NetBSD.
