I am currently reading your book "Building Linux and OpenBSD Firewalls" -
and it is a great resource !!! I will be setting up the firewall in the
next couple weeks. I am still undecided whether to purchase the latest
OpenBSD 2.7 or to stick to the code version that you had use in the book -
OpenBSD 2.5.
I would like to know your opinion about the latest code and if it is a big
departure from 2.5. In the book you had recomend to just use 2.5 and ignore
the updates - that way the book would be 100% accurate. Would I then miss
out on security updates ? I couldn't find any updates about the new code
revisions.
Thanks for your time.
