If you do go with FreeBSD, and it is a great choice, make sure to get
network cards that are able to use the polling interface, Intel cards
come to mind. The difference is instead of generating an interrupt
for each network packet as it come in every so often(configurable
interval) the kernel get any traffic outstanding and processes it.
