IPSO is based on FreeBSD (an old version..., I am not even sure which, but
I am pretty sure it's a 3.x rev). It has been highly customized however.
I know there are all sorts of cool "unsupported" tools on the Nokia site.
I would not try to run TOO much crap on my firewall however. The simpler
your setup is, the less the likelihood is for potential problems.
"Perfection is not acheived when there is nothing left to add, but when
there is nothing left to take away.." No idea who the hell said that, but
I agree. =)
