Does Fedora has an automatic built in Firewall? I have broadband but I dont have a router, as i cannot afford a busniess package. All i am worried about is an anti virus, Firewall, HTML builder ( Doesnt dreamweaver MX accepts Linux?!?!??!) and couple of Graphic creation tools, as i tend to like making graphics. Can anybody recommend me some of the programs that i suggested that accepts Fedora?\ Heres my computer information..
