Why is BSD/OS a good choice for a firewall operating system?
A. The BSD operating system developed by Berkeley Software Design Inc. is based on the original system developed at the University of California at Berkeley. It has been carefully scrutinized for security holes by many people from various organizations. This is not true of proprietary operating systems. The base code for BSD has been running on thousands of computer systems for many years, proving the code is stable, reliable, and effective for network access. This may not be the case for more recently-developed operating systems.
