I've used tiny firewall, bastille firewall, and firestarter. When I go to sygatetech.com for port scans, none of the UDP ports are blocked and some UDP ports are open (most of the UDP ports are closed - not blocked). The TCP port blocks are set up, though, except for TCP port 53 which I have manually blocked. I guess it's a good thing I don't have anything important on the Linux box yet.
