        Just register your product and you'll get 3 months free
        downloads from juniper.net. They always ship with 5.0.0r8.
        There's 5.0.0r10b now, 5.1.0r4a, 5.2.0r3, or 5.30r2.
        Upgrading is a very easy. For production I run 5.0.0r10b.
        For fun I play with 5.3. I'd say 5.1 is also suitable for
        production (since it's up to r4) but I haven't moved up yet.

        See:
        http://www.juniper.net/techpubs
        Select ScreenOS and see which has the features you want.
        Read the Release Notes.

        This is one great firewall.
