Woah woah woah....you're going to say that a SuSe box is better for being a Gateway than a FreeBSD box? Have you thought about security? While they can both be configured to basically the same level of security, the the FreeBSD install will give it to you out-of-box where as the SuSe one you'll have to pindown. Trust me, I'm STILL locking down my SuSe box...



Anyways, SuSe = good for the install and usability, but the BSD machine gives you the raw power and flat out security you need in a Gateway.
