    IMHO, they both have bad usability curves. At least the PIX is
    linguistically "normalized" in that someone unfamiliar with the
    syntax can wade through it. As far as CLI-based firewalls go, you'll
    be hard pressed to beat OpenBSD's PF (also available for NetBSD and
    FreeBSD).

"The problem is that, when we begin to realize the potential goodness in ourselves, 
we often take our discovery much too seriously.  We might kill for goodness or die for 
goodness; we want it so badly. What is lacking is a sense of humor. Humor here does not 
mean telling jokes or being comical or criticizing others and laughing at them. A genuine 
sense of humor is having a light touch: not beating reality into the ground but 
appreciating reality with a light touch.  The basis of Shambhala vision is rediscovering 
that perfect and real sense of humor, that light touch of appreciation."
