Firestarter is easy to setup. There is a wizard that walks you through everything and if you aren't running a server, just turn off everything and you are all set.

With Fedora you should be able to get it through yum or their version of apt-get.

part of installation procedure

Doesn't fedora help you to set up a firewall when you install it? I think it did for me...you just select which prototcols you wish to get through (ftp, ssh, etc).

Basic host based firewall is enabled by default in FC.
