BTW the firewall ports settings also apply to GNOME as well. IF we open them for KDE we should open them for GNOME.

Ubuntu has no default firewall to begin with, so I myself feel more secure with openSUSE.
Installing samba by default is something that is only done for GNOME so far, doing so also for KDE sounds easy to fix, but you're the first one to ask.
Could I suggest that the firewall port opening is added as a default in the samba server setup rather than just as default ... that way they're closed for the people who don't configure (and activate) samba and get opened without hassle for those who use it.
