Now that you have Freebsd working you should take a look at
http://www.dragonflybsd.org/main/

It's based on FreeBSD 4.x. Other then that I don't know much about it. I
did get an email form someone telling me this is better then FreeBSD.

If you want security the only way to go is OpenBSD. I've got one system
running Open. At some point I'm going to need a new firewall and It's
going to run Open. When it comes to firewalls nothing beets OpenBSD.
It's got more features than most of use will know what to do with and
it's the most secure operating system on the planet. What more can you
ask for?
