<snip> > OpenBSD's PF is an excellent firewall. It is fully configurable, and has > a nice amoutn of documentaion on the net. This brings up something I've been wondering about this week. Say I wanted to implement a firewall for a small home network. I know that OpenBSD provides excellent security. However while I know a little Unix, I would by no means call myself very knowledgeable about it. Would it be better for me to use a Windows-based firewall software program that would be fairly easy to learn, or learn-as-I-go with OpenBSD? In other words, OpenBSD would probably be superior, but is it worth using while I climb the steep learning curve? Britt -- "My mom says I'm cool."
