I simply use it as workstation for internet access with mozilla,
ipfilter ..etc. Also for cdburning with xcdroast. It works great!
Mainly i started with bsd to learn more about unix. NetBSD 1.6 is a very
clean and stable os.
Next time i want to install a separate firewall box. Many folks tell me
to use Openbsd instead of NetBSD for higher security. I'm not sure. Does
anybody have any experience with OpenBSD?
