I know how easy to manage BSD is, however we're talking about  
managing another computer system, vs. something more appliance-like.   
I'm already spread very thin in terms of what I do at $dayjob, and  
I'm hesitant to add another desktop/server system (with all the parts  
that can fail) to the mix, when I can perhaps get something with no  
moving parts that will do just as well, which is what led me to the  
ZyWALL.
