No, but why not adopt the positive ones?

I do not see what is silly about a firewall?

Well, I understand what you are saying...
I used windows for about a decade...but do not have a reason to use it,
exept Warblade, a game converted from the old 'Amiga' days.....
My 2 sons and wife still use it, i want them to be able to acces my
music and movie DB, which are partialy on my old windows partitions..and
samba allways worked allright...until 10.0.
In my debian, i use linneighbourhood, which also works allways, and
allright.
