Pedro,

I'm starting to integrate your suggested changes into the Security Guide.  I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know what I was doing.

I grabbed your screen shots thinking that this would be a good way to explain the GUI operation.  Of course then I remembered the hell this brings upon translators.  Not to try to push one desktop environment over another, I would prefer to not use the first couple of screenshots you provided which come from KDE.  I feel like they aren't exceptionally necessary when we can explain how to get to the firewall configuration page using a sentence or two.  I will try to use the firewall configuration page as that should be pretty easy for translators to obtain as well.

Looking back over the iptables section I realize that it is quite light on actual usage.  Since systemctl has made it onto the scene I really don't know the proper way of working with iptables in the CLI.

I'm going to try to get everything put into the system this weekend so that the translators can have a chance to work on the changes.

Thanks,
Eric
