    Re: firewall and anti virus

    You don't need a firewall because no ports are open by default. But Firestarter seems to be the firewall most people use.

    You don't really need a virus scanner, but clamav (KlamAV is the front-end) is pretty good.

    Lots of people use this combination if they are using their linux box as a gateway (firewall, kind of) between their Windows box and the internet.
