i would definitely recommend going over the list of features for both products. http://www.zeroshell.net/eng/ http://www.pfsense.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=40&Itemid=43 main things i see: zeroshell is built more for minimal install. I dont see support for adding plugins or other options readily available. zeroshell is a custom linux build from kernel up so you are restricted to their developers to maintain security patches pfsense is designed to be more expandable with plugin support (such as snort or squid). pfsense is based directly on FreeBSD and therefore utilizes their security updates and leaves more time for core development of the application rather than patching the OS -Sean
