Re: Need Light Network Enabled Distro..
Yes QOS can be implemented in PF. It's called ALTQ. And yes it can do the routing and firewalling, and is much easier to setup a ruleset than in linux IMO once you get used to the syntax.
Depending on the network load a 4801 or the cheaper 45xx series would work great. If you plan on having a high load I think the newer 5501-70 (500 mhz processor and 512MB ram) would be the better choice. It all depends on how many pc's are going to run behind it.

| Thank you very much .. Glad I took a liking to OpenBSD when I recently deployed it as my front-end mail gateway .. Now a new reason to deploy it.
So the bundle should look like:
OpenBSD
PF
ALTQ
OpenVPN
The soekris board we'll have to choose soon enough based on load.
Thanks again everyone
