Just tried out Fedora 15 and noticed the pre-installed firewall application that I found much easier to use than any other previously tried out firewall manager.
Definitely miss it at my Ubuntu workstation, so how can I get it?

You can download it from here.
Then you can use Alien to convert it to a deb package. Run something like this at terminal:
alien --to-deb package.rpm
Finally install your package:
sudo dpkg -i package.deb
Enjoy!

Thanks for your help! Altough the package
firewall-appletis also required to get the pretty GUI shown in my question. When firing it up it goes crazy with the below shown error, any ideas?File "/usr/bin/firewall-applet", line 33, in <module> import firewall_client File "/usr/share/firewalld/firewall_client.py", line 21, in <module> import slip.dbus ImportError: No module named slip.dbusAug 16, 2011 at 11:18 -
I think you will have to install this package too: pkgs.org/download/fedora-rawhide/fedora-i386/firewall-applet-0.1.3-2.fc16.noarch.rpm.html I'm with my mobile right now, away from any computer, can't do any test until I get home.– desguaAug 16, 2011 at 12:40

You can compile the slip.dbus: 1) download the source download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/15/… 2) extract 3) open a terminal and cd to the directory 4) run this commands: ./configure && make && sudo make install– desguaAug 17, 2011 at 1:53
