My preferance is linux with checkpoint, you dont want the system to bluescreen being a firewall. It is very solid on linux, but then again, you go with the type of server that you know best.

Hello everyone, We're about to migrate to Checkpoint NG soon, and I've been tasked to gather data to determine which version of OS we will run our software on. We have already purchased 6 Dell systems (I'm unsure of specs), so the choices are Windows NT, 2000, or a Linux flavor. I'm looking for recommendations, and perhaps links to performance ratings to use as a comparison for each. Also, I'd love to hear the horror stories, so I'm not as blind sided as I was with our McAfee WebShield from months past! Thanks for your help guys.
