Ask Slashdot: Migrating a Router From Linux To *BSD?

An anonymous reader writes I'm in the camp that doesn't trust systemd. You can discuss the technical merits of all init solutions all you want, but if I wanted to run Windows NT I'd run Windows NT, not Linux. So I've decided to migrate my homebrew router/firewall/samba server to one of the BSDs. Question one is: which BSD? Question two: where's some good documentation regarding setting up a home router/firewall on your favorite BSD?
It's fine if the documentation is highly technical, I've written linux kernel drivers before :) (Got a question? You can Ask Slashdot, too.)

Let me Google that for you..

You may have written linux kernel drivers before, but apparently you have never encountered this thing called Google?

He said he's written drivers. He didn't say they compiled or worked.

Why don't you like systemd?

Frankly, I love it when I am forced to take a 5 minute coffee break when I can't CTRL+C out of my misconfigured network card. This is a delicious way to start the day.

Article is wrong...

The article should say: I used to write Linux kernel drivers and hate the direction systemd is taking it. Please support me by clicking on my rant and joining me in installing BSD on your router.

Seriously, I'm barely familiar with Linux as I'm just an end user, and I know well enough that I don't need an ask slashdot to figure out which OS I can put on a router which doesn't include systemd.

You do realize that most of the systemd addon daemons run

across their goddamned lawns, it would appear.
