What firewall to use for 2.6.1 kernel?

I have read about Guarddog but that one seems to support 2.2/2.4 kernels, and not 2.6.
What firewall package should I use with 2.6 kernel?

That does'nt come with a GUI does it?

As a iptables-noob I'm not that keen on doing the administration in the CLI

i think there are some front ends for ip-tables if you check out freshmeat.net.
The thing is, it just boils down to you typing in the ip adresses. I dont know of any auto config gui's, but I think there are some pre-configured scripts out there that you can run.
