Two things missing from Ubuntu - Backup and Firewall - can wehavethem in Horay

[Philip]

My take on that is to use a router. They are cheap enough these days that
everyone should be using them.
Router/firewall combos are $30 US or less depending on rebates and brands.
Unless I had a specific reason to place a computer in a DMZ
the router is the way to go even then maintaining a DMZ via a router is
easier in my opinion.
