On most desktop systems firewall is not needed. Many users do not even
know how to configure it. In fact I disable it in most of my systems,
because there is no real use for it. So I asked a simple question
whether there is a need to install iptables by default?
On most laptops, however, which are the most common types of system sold
today, a firewall is very definitely needed when you're connecting to
hotel networks, public wifi access points...
