Yes FreeBSD is a great idea.


A better solution would be to purchase THe OFfical FreeBSD 3.4(4 cd's)
from 


http://www.cdrom.com

http://www.freebsdmall.com


It cost very little and worth the price for the CD

instead of installing it via ftp on a 486.


For a firewall soluton for your company  try :-


-The NetMax Firewall from (http://www.netmax.com)


NetMAX FireWall's main features: 


All necessary software included and installed 

Complexities of Linux concealed 

Customizable default firewalls 

IP packet filtering 

Network address translation (NAT) 

Traffic Monitor 

Windows, Macintosh, and Unix clients supported 

Software only solution 



Looking forward to your feedback.
