BSD.

FreeBSD is just about all we use.  It gets much of the useful
stuff from Linux ported to it like Clam, SA, Amavis, etc. and IMO
it has a more stable development paradigm.  And of course many
useful things from BSD have been ported to Linux (and lots of
other operating systems), such TCP/IP stacks, etc. 

OpenBSD and NetBSD also have their adherents.  I hear that
a very nice firewall can be built using OpenBSD and pf.
OpenBSD is written and configured to be quite secure.

Here's a note from Kelsey Cummings on another list.  Hope he
doesn't mind the quote:

> Sonic uses a couple OpenBSD PF firewalls internally and they have been
> absolutely spectacular and allow for very complex network configurations.

> I'd be tempted to use PF on FreeBSD though since it's been ported over. 
> FreeBSD installs a lot easier and has better hardware support as well as a 
> larger community support network.
