I am going to be setting up a box to do NAT with my Ameritech ADSL (Alcatel
SpeedTouch USB modem) and I was wondering if there was any reason that I
should use FreeBSD with ipfw/ipfilter ( I don't really know the difference)
rather than Linux with iptables?  I fully admit that I haven't really
researched the two options throughly and I've only setup a very basic one
rule NAT configuration for my friend.  I was hoping that you all may have
some insight as to why or if FreeBSD makes a better NAT / Firewall box.

Thanks,
