I understand that and that's fine with me ... but the problem is that I can't control some administrative features in my box. e.g. I want to add some apps to start at logon time but I can't get to those controls.

well I just realized (when I ran again 'live' installation disk that at the end it complaint that likely my hardware doesn't have right spec or drivers and therefore I'm running Gnome in fallback mode. Could it be the reason why I don't see a lot of features in my System Settings?
Could someone advice if I could install another desktop like KDE or etc ? which one is more attractible and user friendly?
Thanks,
Regards.

FILTER
BACKENDS(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual FILTER BACKENDS(7)
NAME
filter_backends - output drivers for the filtergen packet filter compiler
INTRODUCTION
This document describes the status and feature-set of the currently available filtergen backends.
IPTABLES
Most development is done first against the iptables driver. It supports reject, masquerading, transparent proxying, logging (with text)
and sub-groups, all of which should work fine (though the latter has only recently been fixed).
IPCHAINS
The ipchains driver supports all of the above features, too. Its state model is much weaker though, of course. The forwarding support
should work OK, though it is not possible to support "local"-only packets.
IPFILTER
The ipfilter backend is incomplete. It supports accept, drop, reject and logging, but not masq, transproxy or sub-groups. It should be
easy for someone with knowledge of ipfilter to add support for the other features. Options for OpenBSD "pf" features and syntax would be
nice, too. It has received no testing; I don't even know if the generated filters are syntactically correct.
CISCO
The cisco driver is in roughly the same sort of state as the ipfilter one. Additionally, because of the limitations of IOS ACLs, it sup-
ports only a limited set of features. It cannot support reject or transparent proxying, and may not be able to support masquerading
either. An option for reflexive (stateful) ACLs would be very useful.
I understand that Cisco PIX firewalls use a variant of this syntax -- it would be very nice to support them too.
