You should be able to do apt-get install ipchains (as root) and it will automatically tell you about other packages that need to be installed. All you'll have to do is hit 'y'. That alone would make me prefer Debian to Red Hat: virtually zero DLL hell. Some people like dselect, deity, or what have you. Use what you like; they all do more or less the same thing. Remember, though: ipchains is for 2.2 kernels, ipfilter is for 2.4 kernels. Debian stable is still using 2.2 kernels. Another tip that took me a long time to learn: "apt-cache" is your friend. Do "apt-cache search foo" to list all packages that refer to "foo" and "apt-cache show foobar" will show a description of package foobar. It beats going to debian.org all the time.
