greetings,
I almost think something similar had been asked on this list a few months ago,
but i could not dig it up in the archives.
First off, after a year of growing comfortable with ubuntu and orca on a test
machine, I finally installed Ubuntu (8.04 "hardy herrin") onto my everyday
machine.
My test machine did not have internet access, so there were still several
asspecs of ubuntu I was unable to try. In particular, I would like to
implimment a firewall before I turn the internet on while using my new ubuntu
system (FYI, the computer is set up to duel-boot from windows as well). Doing
some basic research I found out there are two options, firestarter and ufw.
1: is firestarter accessible with orca?
@: which is easier to learn for a novice?
I have no experience with network management, iftables or other advanced
concepts. In windows, I set my firewall to high/highest security and don't
need to return to it often. All I want is to allow my necessary activity
("apt-get update", reading my e-mail and googling instructions on how to get
orca/ubuntu/etc to work well) and block almost everything else.
Thankyou:-)
and appologies for jumping in now. I know most people are focused on the
upcoming 9.04 release.
