    Firewall software for Linux?

    Hey Guys!
    I'm new to linux and i don't know much about it. So i need your opinion which is the best firewall software for linux? I have a linux server [Ubuntu] which provides internet to the linux network [4 computers]. I have this small lab to experiment things on my own. So i need a firewall. Do i need to install it in all the computers or only the server machine? Help Guys. Thanks in advance...

    Hey!
    Well all linux has integrated Firewall... If you looking for Dedicated Firewall other than the integrated one, there are a number of softwares like :
    Firestarter
    SmoothWal
    Zorp GPL
    LutelWall
    Gaurddog
    Lokkit
    All the best!
