Firestarter is out of date

[Bodhi Zazen]

Just looking at some of the documentation.

Came across this page : https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/keeping-safe/C/firewall.html

I have a few concerns about this information.

First the default firewall is iptables and I think we should point out firestarter and other tools are for configuration.

Second, the default config tool is now ufw, gufw if you want a GUI config tool. Installing firestarter conflicts with ufw, so at a minimum ufw needs to be removed.

Third, IMO, Firestarter is out dated. The project is not longer maintained and is showing it's age. I do not believe we should be advising firestarter, rather we should at least mention iptables and then follow through with information of ufw (for servers) and gufw (desktops).
