April 4, 200719 yr I've just started to use linux, using the Xubuntu distro. I'd like to know where and how I can get a firewall configured for it so I'm safe from any nasties coming from the internet. Thanks! :D [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!]

April 4, 200719 yr I'd suggest using iptables. It doesn't come with a GUI or anything, but type "man iptables" in a terminal window and read it.
April 4, 200719 yr You don't really need to bother with a firewall on Linux as there are no active virus' that target the Linux. :mrgreen:Thats bad advice and you are wrong about no virus for Linux.

I was talking generally, what I should have said was; Linux has very few virus', which are generally are harder to get when compared to Windows. Again I'm sorry as I read a old article which I was referring to, "no active virus'" which stated that there where only proof of concept virus' and no "wild" virus'. :oops: Having looked around I was wrong. :oops: [hide=Drops]Dragon Axe x11Berserker Ring x9Warrior Ring x8SeercullDragon MedDragon Boots x4 - all less then 30 kcGodsword Shard (bandos)Granite Maul x 3Solo only - doesn't include barrows[/hide][hide=Stats][/hide]
