For Windows users wanting to go to Linux the easiest & fastest way is to get the latest Ubuntu distribution:

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

It's very easy to install and mantain it and much more stable than Vista or XP.

What is the best free firewall software for Ubuntu or Linux in general ?

Have not had time to switch finally to Linux.

I've been using Ubuntu as my sole OS for a while now. Overall I'm happy with it. I've customized it to look like a Mac sort of. My one complaint is that flash sometimes crashes firefox but that's an adobe problem. I like Ubuntu a lot. I've never tried any other distros though.

Hi Stephan,

For firewall, I suggest you use a hardware device like a wireless router (some can be reprogrammed with a linux variant that makes them comparable to some seriously capable and expensive security and remote access networking hardware -- www.openwrt.org).

If you still want a PC based firewall, I've used the firestarter program for a very friendly interface to iptables. Firewall builder is good too.
If you are looking to make a PC your router/firewall, there are many mini-distros built just for that purpose that will work.
Many have very low overhead and can be run on older "junk" machines.

If you're looking for linux software of any type, try www.freshmeat.net and use the search function.
This site has the best overview of linux software in my experience.

I hope you make the switch to linux as I've always found it to be much more stable and capable than windows products and it allows me to run multiple types of servers and services securely.

When I stop learning, plant me.

I'm already of less use than a tree.

Ubuntu has a great section for help, go to http://help.ubuntu.com or https://wiki.ubuntu.com

here is how you would set up a firewall for an example:
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/keeping-safe/C/firewall.html

Also go with a hardware type of fire wall, works best. Software firewalls are pretty safe too though.


EDIT - I am starting to like Ubuntu better now than Xubuntu even though they are both excellent operating systems. I've been using Ubuntu for a while now :) still need to try Gobuntu.


peace
