I second the motion for OpenBSD especially for that kind of hardware.

I would though argue that the documentation suck, OpenBSD is known to
have the best man pages of all unixes, there however is no handhelding
installshield step by step learn nothing junk.

This comes from the sence that read this and learn what you are doing
or do not do it at all.

Else there is always the choice of Ipf on Solaris, never tried it but
i guess it is the same as OpenBSD ipf.
