I'm new to linux and using Firestarter via Ubuntu, from what I understand

I'd like to think I know what I'm doing, and would also recommend

Because of the way (every-other-operatirng-system-apart-from-

it's relatively easy to fool so doesn't really help much.

help the discussion at this point).
