I agree with everything Tim wrote above, and I'll add that the biggest
factor that influenced me in my move to OpenBSD for my firewall was that
it was the only free unix I found that could do bidirectional filtering
in bridged mode.  As in, when you're in a bridged configuration you can 
filter in and out on an interface.  Neither Linux nor FreeBSD could do
this.  It's certainly an edge case, but if you need that feature it's
invaluable.

I posted my asterisk altq experiments here:
