Linux has been described as one of the most secure operating systems available, but the National Security Agency (NSA) has taken Linux to the next level with the introduction of Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux). SELinux takes the existing GNU/Linux operating system and extends it with kernel and user-space modifications to make it bullet-proof. If you're running a 2.6 kernel today, you might be surprised to know that you're using SELinux right now! This article explores the ideas behind SELinux and how it's implemented.

... what I'd really like to see is pf ported to Linux.
Looks unlikely to happen because (as I understand it - I'm not a network guru) Linux handles networking quite differently to how the BSDs do.
I use pf with FreeBSD (I dual-boot that with Linux)
and I'm sold on pf's *great* rule syntax, elegance and
effectiveness!
