i think 

service iptables save would be better than

iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables

and this file should be specifically mentioned as the
configuration file which contain the firewall rules

In web hosting companies nobody uses iptables directly
 they use something apf or bastille.

r-fx.net
bastille-linux.org

if you are aiming for newbies firestarter can be
mentioned as a good gui tool. several other firewall
generators are available on the net. you might want to
invest more time on this and get this updated a bit
more comprehensively. its a good start but i feel its
pretty much incomplete right now

Rahul

I guess you were meaning :
http://www.rfxnetworks.com/apf.php

Because r-fx.net points to a... Junk site if I can say so :P

These are not in Fedora.
If one of them gets into the distro, I'll invest time.
