Question about CyberGuard

I have read several reviews of many of the commercial firewall products but I have not seen any reviews or comments about CyberGuard here. Could anyone tell me whether this is a solid product. I have been given the task of implementing a firewall system for my company but I really am just a beginner in the field of security or Unix for that matter. We decided to go with CyberGuard, although we are a mostly NT shop, we felt that it was necessary to go a Unix box for a firewall. The trouble is that we don't have a lot of Unix experience in the office and we aren't likely to get any in the near future. Are there any known holes with this system that I should know about? It is up to me to learn a lot more about Unix, specifically SCO, in a very short time. Does anyone know of a good book to give a solid fundamental understanding of Unix concepts? Not so much the commands but the structure and conceptual design of a Unix system. I doubt I will be able to get a SysAdmin course from my company so that option is not available. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I realize that these questions are not truly on topic and perhaps this post qualifies as noise but I felt that I would get a much more qualified answer here than in a newsgroup for instance. Thanks for any help. Brian Gibson
