I wouldn't say whatever you said, doesn't make sense. I wish there were an easier way to know about it when I started using the OS, something to warn me that I need to configure the firewall to suit my needs. Maybe because I came from a different OS where the defaults were stricter, my expectations about the defaults were different.

"oh, I seem to have ports open" 20 seconds later somebody took over my account" Rapidly pulls cable and reinstalls. Some sort of a warning during installation. "there is no firewall running, You should probably set up some rules" would be helpful. mick -- Key ID 4BFEBB31
