Hi there
well a gateway is actually a gateway to the internet umm like the "thing"
that shares the internet a lot of users in a Local network can surf the
internet using that gateway

and about the other question... Um personally I've found that FreeBSD is
pretty much the best OS for intranet/extranet servers
