Second, iptables is a de-facto standard for Linux, just as pf is pretty much the standard firewalling on BSD. Windows and Solaris got their own firewalling methods as well.

Ah...I believe it is ipfw that is standard on the BSDs although pf has been ported to FreeBSD...
You might be pretty much right. The *BSD does have several firewall solutions, some unique to some *BSDs and some available to most of the BSD flavours, and I might have confused it. Thanks for straiten me out!
