in relation to a company quoting that BSD is too hard to stay ontop of, regarding updating the OS with security patches for an effective firewall, this company is instead quoting us on watchguard 700 firebox firewalls, have any of you heard about these thing, any bad comments....
 
Sorry - the question is not totally related to BSD - but they are trying to replace my 7 network BSD structure with these things - and have given me neally no detail and I want to make sure it is a suitable product for VPN firewall capabilities
