[xubuntu-users] Firewalls on an XU laptop

[John Shane]

I've been looking at the firewall options available in Synaptic
for my laptop running Xubuntu Edgy.  There are four to choose from:
Zorp, Shorewall, Firestarter and Firewall Builder.  Anyone with
experience using one or the other of these, or all of them, able
to give advice for choosing one for an XU laptop?  

>From Googling plus looking at the web sites for the various programs
it seems like Zorp is more server oriented, Shorewall is, in their
own words, powerful but not the easiest to use.  Firewall Builder and
Firestarter look similar and probably better suited for a laptop with
Firestarter being a bit more polished.  Does that agree with your
experience?

Thanks, John
