Why use UNIX/Linux?
Firstly, unless a network administrator is familiar with the UNIX/Linux platform, then it is not recommended that a UNIX/Linux firewall is implemented. It will be easier to maintain a secure system if the administrator has skills in maintaining the underlying operating system. UNIX/Linux systems typically rely on a CLI more than a GUI, making navigating the system more difficult for the first time user.
