[CS-FSLUG] Firewall Roundtable

[Josiah Ritchie]

I was just curious to see what others were doing for home PCs for a
solution similar to what ZoneAlarm takes care of for the Windows
world. I ended up using KMyFirewall as it was simple and took care of
my needs. I'm still interested in how others do the same thing.

Sound words, I know, Timothy is to use,
And old wives' fables he is to refuse
But yet grave Paul him nowhere doth forbid
The use of parables, in which lay hid
That gold, those pearls, and precious stones that were
Worth digging for, and that with greatest care.
