 personal firewall for linux?

Hi,
I have been using ZA as a personal firewall on W98 for
a while, and am interested in a similar (free?) product
for linux.

Is there such a beast? All the linux firewall stuff I
have read seems to think I have a 'spare' PC to dedicate
as a FW. The functionality of ZA is great, and that is
the kind of protection I would like when I boot up linux
too.

Thanks for any advice!
Shimon

Hi Shimon,

Which Linux distro are we talking about here?

I am presently experimenting with Mandrake8 and as far as I can tell, most distros come with a firewall, although somewhat difficult to configure.

Mandrake8 comes with Tiny as well as with an installable Bastille.

I wish they were as easy to use as ZA though.
