This tutorial explains how you can install and configure APF - an interface to IPTables which lets you easily configure a full featured firewall to secure servers and workstations connected to a network. This guide describes an example installation on a server with cPanel but it’s only a matter of port numbers which must be open for everything to work. APF can be used on any system.http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-and-configure-advanced-policy-firewall-apf-on-centos-5.3

engadget.com review of Apple Snow Leopard - But underneath the customary OS X fit and finish there’s a lot of new plumbing at work here. The entire OS is now 64-bit, meaning apps can address massive amounts of RAM and other tasks go much faster. The Finder has been entirely re-written in Cocoa, which Mac fans have been clamoring for since 10.0. There’s a new version of QuickTime, which affects media playback on almost every level of the system. And on top of all that, there’s now Exchange support in Mail, iCal, and Address Book, making OS X finally play nice with corporate networks out of the box.http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/26/snow-leopard-review/
