I'm migrating the firewall/gateway/router to OpenBSD from Slackware 10, just have a few questions for the resident OpenBSD expert (can't remember the name, it's been so long).
Is writing a firewall script in OpenBSD as (comparably) easy as writing one using iptables under Linux? Also, I noticed the installer seems to want to install a shit-ton of packages in one go instead of allowing a more pick-and-choose approach. Is this a true statement or does the "official" CD offer a different approach to package installation? And, because I'm lazy, does Open or NetBSD have a Java compiler and virtual machine? Maybe a port from Linux? I'm leaning towards NetBSD for my laptop and Java is crucial (as well as OpenOffice, but that can be replaced with a similar word processor/spreadsheet). Thanks in advance!
