Any of the BSD derivatives will work fine. My personal preference being
FreeBSD. Remember though, without significat hardware changes, the home
x86/BSD/zebra solution is not going to work in a core environment - there are
backplane throughput issues stopping you there. This should be considered as
box for either the lab or the small lan/wan environment.
