OpenBSD had earned it reputation on security. It score a little better
then FreeBSD on this topic. At the very least you have less possibility
of a insecure system. OpenBSD would be the best general choice
for a firewall and FreeBSD would be the best choice of any other intel
based computer. NetBSD would cover anything that is not supported.
The different version of BSD exist for a reason.
The principle bind the original suggestion is to have a firewall with
a different OS on it.
