From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A thread on the site which shall not be named convinced me that a majority of the books are recently published and with above average to highly scored on reviews, so I bought it.
Why the Linux Firewalls book hails from 2007 is a strange outlier.
Because that's the most recent version... The firewall it covers I don't think has changed much in that time though so it's probably fine
