Firewall on PC



Hi all,
 
--- OpenBSD 2.9 (or any other version)    versus  "iptables" GNU/Linux 2.4.x ---
 
If GNU/Linux is chosen, is Debian GNU/Linux 'testing' (woody) the right distribution?. No 'potato' due to it uses 2.2.x kernels.
 
I think that the subjects which must be taken into account to evaluate the Operating System and distribution to use must be:
    - The security, stability, ... of the Operating System / distribution
    - The functionality level of the filter, for example: linux 2.2.x versus 2.4.x
 
Is OpenBSD more secure than GNU/Linux?.
 
Is the functionality level of the 2.4.x filter the same/greater/lower than the OpenBSD filter?.
 
 
Regards,
Davi
