Returning to the scene a little late, but . . . You might be right about Ubuntu installing without a firewall, but I am QUITE sure it installs with iptables set to Deny. Which means that Firestarter or Guarddog or any of those are not necessary. "iptables" is the default firewall, and Firestarter (at least) does no more than use iptables.
