This latest Linux root exploit bolsters my confidence even more in OBSD. I know they recently had a remote crash exploit, but the claim of no remote root exploit since '97? is a very good track record indeed.
OBSD takes the time to validate their code. While OBSD or any OS will never be perfect, the OBSD method of engineering is still tops in my book.
I rather like duplexing than mirroring (i.e. two controller cards) That way there is not a single point of failure, and cards are relatively inexpensive as pointed out.
Look, alot of people go to grad school just because they can't get a job (the Catch 22 argument.) Of course it is flawed logic that an advanced degree equals better employment opportunities, but what's a person to do who really wants to work in IT? Decent internships are as hard to come by as real jobs. If a person doesn't want to code for a living what other open "source" projects are available to gain experience (say I want to network admin or database admin for a living)?
The Catch 22 applies somewhat to all new college grads, but the IT field is especially psychotic. To answer the original post, don't do it! If you don't have the experience to get a job in your field right now, you won't have it in four or five years either.
Nobody here can tell you exactly how to get a job. You'll have to suffer and make do like the rest of us. What a country!?

What would be the advantage of using the Checkpoint product versus using one of the BSD versions with PF?
Comparisons of price/performance/security are the types of criteria I had in mind.

How about using a load balancing cluster. That way you get true load balancing instead of load sharing with the DNS solution.
UNIX has been built from the ground up with security in mind, it's called OpenBSD.
