See http://www.archlug.org/kwiki/FirewallKwikis

Check out Firestarter.

This project is shaping up to be a nice user-friendly personal firewall with a
usable GUI. It is similar to the BlackICE and ZoneAlarm personal firewalls for
Windows users. It is now included in the Debian, Fedora, and RedHat
distributions, and is part of the default install for Xandros (which is
Debian-based).

The FireStarter homepage is at http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/
