[K12OSN] Meeting with district

[Steve Gilmore]

I agree with Ray G that a good BSD will perform equally well at almost 0$ . 
All you need is a spare PC a few nic cards.
Monowall was the 1st firewall I used but have since migrated to PFsense a 
fork of Monowall. It has a few more features.Both have web interfaces for 
configuration/monitoring and great community support.
