Alright, so I'm in the process of ditching Mickey$oft and switching over to
Linux. One of the few concerns that I have left is that I don't know jack
about firewalls for Linux. Can anyone recommend a firewall that would be
fairly easy for a Linux noob to install and set up?

    Thank you,
        Aaron
