Ok, ok. What I said was what Cisco says
as in, lies, lies, lies.
They call it "marketing".
Cisco hardware is much more reliable than PCs
I can't second that. Cisco and good PC hardware are en par ime.
The whole system, Cisco + IOS vs PC-Server + OpenBSD - the latter is
ahead. Again, ymmv. I have had cisco routers crash upon typing "show
version".
and the configuration is quite easy and structured.
what? that mess is nowhere near structured. It is not a config
language that was designed. It's an accident that happened.
rofl, if you think so... :) We should stop flaming about cisco vs
opensource solutions... both have advantages and problems aswell. Its
the common discussion about commercial vs opensource products, and this
was not the idea when Martmn started this thread I think. My fault,
sorry for that.

If you have the money buy Cisco Routers (or from similar vendors), if you
have time and want to save some money use OpenBSD.
no. If you have the money get somebody clueful to set your OpenBSD
routers up.
If you actually do route amny Gigabit/s worth of traffic things get a
bit complicated, you might have to go for juniper then.
But cisco... pah humbug.
