A firewall may also cause problems for users more then it helps them,
the newer linux users will not understand firewall rules and for those
of us who plan to market Ubuntu to non techie type ppl in the future it
would be a pain (ppl would complain when a program wouldn't work) If
running a server you should already be using a firewall be it
smoothwall, plain old iptables on a router or another choice but don't
be sloppy and expect the server to do the firewalling. A firewall with
a GUI would be cool so users could control it easier but that is way
too much to ask (unless something good already exists that could cover
the user needs)
