I do not know firestarter. The advantage of snort is that it is already
on the dvd. (Perhaps other programs as well)

I just tried it out once to see what happend. For the rest I am pretty
confident that the firewall stops what it needs to and I could not be
botherd by the information.

I tried the rpm files on http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/download.php
and the did not work. Made the rpm myself and it works nicely. Also
already deleted it, as it is not something I have use for. I want my
firewall in the background.
