Really folks... any distro that comes without a firewall installed during the install, with easy setup options for the users means one thing.
It really missed the most important part of any modern OS install.
New folks who are not offered a firewall during the install can get themselves into trouble really quickly...
The Developers, by leaving this out, are a little to pre-occupied with higher details than the basics... FIREWALLS and SECURITY are basics!
Hey - As I was looking at the OS boot screen it looks like SELinux is also turned off by default? Is this true? Shouldn't it be turned on by default?
Suggestion, re-do Dapper and release it again when the *buntu folks are not so rushed by a release date that they forget important details that they are sending out on CD all over the world in error.
