Re:You jest? No firewall at install is ok! Funny.

erm, ubuntu comes with 0 ports open out of the box. Firewall is iptables. It just doesn't come with a gui to play with your firewall settings.
sudo apt-get install firestarter

no biggie. If average users start setting up ftp and ssh, then I'd say include the gui... To say there is no firewall... untrue.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:P
