I for one would not mind about everything being in English. If much
interest from one person, that is me, counts, I'd be happy to install
the package.
In part I am hoping that 0.9 can be configured not to start the GUI in
user mode which of course will not show the hits from syslog. I am
running 0.8.2 under KDE 3 and have gotten used to clicking the user mode
windows including error messages away after bootup and then starting the
firestarter GUI manually again as root. Of course, there will be a
better way to do this, it's Linux after all, but my skills don't go that
far. And I read that iptables' status and the GUI settings will
correspond more reliably in 0.9., which is a good thing... I lost quite
some time before I realized that there are glitches in this respect in
0.8.2 while someone was waiting remotely for me to open a port for him
to do urgent work on my machine.
Regards,
Andreas
