Nate,

Attached is an email I received from a guy named Andy. His email explains how 
to set up iptables on Slackware 9.1, but it should work for 10.0 too. I used 
this procedure/firewall on my 9.1 system and it worked flawlessly. Since I 
upgraded to 10.0 I have a router that does the forewalling for me. In the 
email, read the bottom message first, download Arno's iptables from 
freshmeat, and then follow Andy's instructions. Any questions, drop me a 
line. You could probably even email Andy if you like. He didn't mind me 
emailing him directly. He was very eager to help. I have no knowledge of any 
GUI firewall frontends, sorry.

Hope this helps,
Jerry

Look here for arno's iptables:
