  Title: openSUSE Linux 12.1: Create a new firewall.
   
  openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed
  Priority
      Requester: Important
   
  Requested by: Genix Info (genixinfo)
  Partner organization: openSUSE.org
   
Description:
  My suggestion is to join all the features of SuSEfirewall2
  (http://en.opensuse.org/SuSEfirewall2) , with Dynamic Firewall
  (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DynamicFirewall) , FirewallD
  (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD/) and system-config-firewall
  (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SystemConfig/firewall) of Fedora Linux,
  Interactive Firewall
  (http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Projects/Interactive_Firewall) of Mandriva
  Linux, dynfw (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/dynfw.xml) of Gentoo Linux,
  ufw (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncomplicated_Firewall) of Ubuntu
  Linux, the Shorewall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorewall) , the
  Firestarter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestarter_%28firewall%29) ,
  the Kmyfirewall (http://kmyfirewall/) , the PF (firewall)
  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PF_%28firewall%29) , the Vuurmuur
  (http://vuurmuur.sourceforge.net/) , the Firewall Builder
  (http://www.fwbuilder.org/) , the Astaro Security Gateway Software
  Appliance 
(http://www.astaro.com/products/astaro-security-gateway-software-appliance)
  , the Firewall Analyzer
  (http://www.manageengine.com/products/firewall/) , the Smoothwall
  (http://www.smoothwall.org/) , the ClearOS
  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearOS) , the Endian Firewall
  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endian_Firewall) , the Cisco IOS
  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_IOS) , the IPCop
  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPCop) and IPFire
  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPFire) , after this union of features,
  it would create a new Firewall, more stable, secure, efficient,
  current, complete, modern, flexible, integrated, manageable, easy and
  fast to use, dynamic and interactive: SUSEfirewall3
  I suggest using the name SUSEfirewall3, because then it can be used in
  openSUSE Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and Server. Also,
  because using that name, was being accepted in part these features:
  openSUSE Linux: Make it Global (Worldwide) in the World:
  https://features.opensuse.org/312629 (312629)
  Change the name SuSE Linux, by its present name openSUSE Linux:
  https://features.opensuse.org/310156 (310156)
  openSUSE Linux 12.1: Increased variety of packages, all packages:

  #2: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2011-08-04 19:30:27) 
  My suggestion is to complement what exists, to get better:
  SUSEfirewall3
   
+ #3: Joseph Mitzen (duncreg) (2011-08-06 21:39:13) (reply to #2)
+ While we're at it, why don't we combine Fedora, Magaeia, Ubuntu,
+ Sabayon, and Puppy linux with openSUSE? :-) Are you serious? This is a
+ vague wish, not a specific, actionable feature request.
