Speaking in a completely unsanctioned way for the rabid, unreasonable Unix
goobers on the list, I'd have to agree with that post.

IMO, NT is (gasp!) probably suitable for most firewall needs.  I think
that Unix is the better way to go, and that it holds a number of
significant advantages over NT.  That having been said, building a
firewall on NT can be a responsible decision depending on your
circumstances. 

If you don't want to build it on NT and don't know what to do on a Unix
box, buy the $20 Linux CD and hop on the linux newsgroups for help.  8^)
