(and hey, someone already made a smartass comment. So early on!)]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:39:30 +0000 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:37:29 +0000 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:49:10 +0000 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:50:15 +0000 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:33:28 +0000
and also something like this in a Aptitude kinda GUI that works in a terminal window.

I like terminal access but i just can't get all those commands into my mind, for common task a GUI works better for me, and that way i get more memory space for commands that are less used.

This way you can help others more easy with finetuning their system without commandlines and their vunerability to tricky little mistakes (like closing port 12 instead of 21)]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 08:29:59 +0000 I removed a invalid duplicate link to a older 1100-votes idea, and it seems the number of votes here was not updated.

The real number of votes should be inferior to 100.

Sorry!]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:52:20 +0000 i dont believe the comment,actually people most of brainstormers have peculiar habit of voting the ideas which has postive votes not negative votes,even it is good one.so
that bug of 1000 votes created mess.i wasnt satisfied with my vote too and next consequence of these votes made brainstorm rank flicker.please be calm when editing brainstorm.]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:23:40 +0000 Meanwhile, well..., we will have to live with this weird one :)]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:20:38 +0000 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 14:14:27 +0000 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 21:42:33 +0000 1) Firestarter is dead upstream
2) Firestarter is per interface so you have to reconfigure it each time you switch between wired or wireless for example

A GUI really is needed for less experienced users, I don't know that it needs to be installed by default but it should at least be in Universe and hopefully main so people can install it easily.]]> Sat, 12 Jul 2008 20:47:30 +0000 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 20:55:03 +0000
Now that I notice that the newest version was released in *2005*, I'll throw my support behind this. Configuring firewalls was made simple thanks to the CLI with ufw, but this makes it much less of a hassle.

*Sigh*...I still don't see the point...]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 01:30:24 +0000 Firestarter has some major issues with Samba, and seeing that it's dead upstream it's time to develop something new that works.

I've used GUFW and I must say it is superior to Firestarter.]]> Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:20:23 +0000 Noob users need something simpler to turn the firewall on. ufw is simple for us, but not for the average joe user.

I support the idea of having Gufw by default in Ubuntu.]]> Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:37:01 +0000

that would be really user friendly and safe :)]]> Sat, 06 Sep 2008 17:03:13 +0000 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:47:25 +0000 Marking as "Already implemented" since this idea is a subset of http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22/ which was marked as implemented for intrepid.]]> Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:03:20 +0000 Its's a bug because it requires the command line in Ubuntu 9.10.
The command line is just the first bug report on launchpad.]]> Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:05:54 +0000
