    Just purchased a Linux OS A110, due to collect it from the shop tonight, and have a simple question - does it come with an inbuilt firewall?

    Linpus Linux Lite does not appear to come with a firewall.

    Many GNU/Linux distributions use iptables for a firewall. The kernel that comes with the Acer Aspire One does not appear to have been compiled with iptables support.

    I have tried compiling the iptables modules for the kernel, but so far have been unsuccessful.

    If you are curious, you can read more in the post
