A comment on Linux vs bsd network stack.
-Primarily, not dealing with iptables
-Relatedly, love working with ipfw[1] or pf[2]
-Interface names are based on the network driver, which is more consistent and useful (have a question about interface em0? man em[3] )
-A sane ifconfig[4] which is, you know, still updated
-Relatedly, no need for a bunch of different/new/inconsistent config programs (ip vs. ifconfig vs. iwconfig)
-CARP[5] is pretty amazing for redundancy and is stupid-simple to set up in FreeBSD10
-Both the OS and the network stack have been tested for IPv6-only support
