Alan wrote you nice piece of comparison, my experience says: OBSD is
perfect for front line firewalls, PF needs aprox. 75% lines less than
ip tools, iptables etc etc.

The only thing I have against OBSD (if regular use is considered) is IO
efficiency- it is really sloooow.
And smaller thing: CPU scalability is far behind Linux kernel.

PS. God bless ed, if you install OBSD from floppy you will know what I
mean
