I spare myself the exercise to elaborate which of the 112 results from "apt-cache search firewall" qualify as firewalls...
Oh, this educational thingy includes all of those? Wauw!...and also it includes some tens of thousands of packages completely irrelevant for an education setting too. Cool.
You are right, I was misleading. I apologize for the error!When not just "included", what is then the proper term for a firewall tool more tightly integrated than the marvellous and teacher-with-one-hour-per-week friendly "aptitude install" integration mechanism?
I thought that all those firewall tools were "installable" and you now propose to "include" one of them - but since that is utterly misleading, then what expression isnt?
