Are there any good firewall progs for linux?
I'd like it if they were most like Zone Alarm for windows as for as look and function.

the one with looks, i dont know, but the one with power and good security i liek APF, because of the anti dos and the way it handles traffic

try firestarter, as far as I know it is very good (I use a hardware firewall anyway ;) ) for installing see : http://fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware

what I'm looking for is not so much complex rules and stuff
(mainly cuz I have no clue how to use them)
I'm basically looking for a program control, so I can control which programs can access the internet and pretty much block most incomming stuff except that whish is initiated by a program that allowed to access.

GuardDog ('http://www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog/') is about as simple and easy as you can get (even simpler than Firestarter, in my opinion). There doesn't seem to be an FC-specific RPM that I can find, but usually installing from a tarball isn't too onerous.
