<sarcasm> You fuddy duddy guys don't know anything. Did you check wikipedia, the authoritative source of everything? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall_pinhole Static firewalls are a thing of the past, the pace of Linux kernel development is so hectic, that pretty soon only dynamically loaded firewalls will exist. </sarcasm> Awww... I hope its not serious as some tech journos have a horrible time understanding simple things. In India during childhood, we were told of a story of a guy called Shekhchilli. A poor fool who was a woodcutter by profession. One day he climbed a tall tree with thick branches and started cutting a branch using his axe on it, while he was sitting on the same branch! Passerbys warned him but he wouldn't listen, he wanted that branch so bad. Fedora would be doing a shekhchilli to itself if true.
