I use Debian since Slink and have never installed a firewall or ipfwadm/ipchains/iptables on my workstations and laptops. Even my embedded systems which are 100% exploited to the Internet have no one. I was never hacked in the last 8 1/2 years. My main server (Sun Blade) in Paris is connected over a Dual STM-4 to the Internet without router, firewall and iptables installed. It run since december 1999 without being hacked. I will say, if you realy NEED a firewall or iptables, then you have opened your workstation/server your own and you know what you do. I do not like to get useless software installed on every system I install.
