According to the freebsd-pf@ list(which is maybe a better place for your question) PF version 4.5 is scheduled to appear in FreeBSD 9 so we'll still be well behind. I would guess the previous version of the book has syntax and examples closer to what you'll be using if FreeBSD is your host although 2nd editions often have a lot of useful additions and corrections. -- Adam Vande More
