[ILUG] Firewalls... linux -v- BSD

 From a user perspective, I found pf's syntax much easier to read, write,
 and understand than iptables. It took me days rather than weeks to get
 a pf based firewall running.

 Maybe this is just another instance where BSD, especially OpenBSD has
 much better documentation than Linux.

 (Let the flamefest begin. Where's my asbestos underwear? ;-)
