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.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
