Absolute safest thing to do is backup the partition (or maybe only your files).
using dpkg --get-selections and a little scripting, you can get a list of every
package on your system. pass that data into dpkg --set-selections and you get
your old system back. So all you really need to save is

Firewalling is done in the kernel and set up with ipchains.
Debian has a couple of packages which can be useful with this,
ipchains-perl and ipmasq.

What's the difference between kernel-source and the linux-2.*.tar.gz?
To compile your own kernel, if you use the linux* one, you use make-kpkg
after unpacking.
If you use kernel-source, do you unpack it? If yes, how? And then, what
next?
Thanks,
