I'm not all that knowledgeable concerning Linux.... I thought that a firewall was part of it. But too, I thought the firewall was separate from Virus control, Parental Control, Spam/eMail protection etc. would be completely separate from a firewall. I run all right now on Windows XP with Norton Internet Security.

I guess I'm wondering if I'd be protected for these things with Linux, or if there's additional programs I need to get them done.

The firewall software is built into the kernel. It's not a separate package, as in Windows. As I've mentioned in other notes, Linux & Unix security is built in and not added on.
