Have you used SUSE and this program? I am really interested to see your opinions here:)

What is it, a firewall?

[Oigen]

I've never heard of it. What does it do?

Ubuntu ships with AppArmor as default, so I use the program, not on SUSE though, as you requested. It runs silently, so there's not much to say about it; probably because I don't know much about the program and if it's really useful. What I know about it is that it's an extra layer of security which handles security risks in programs.

I didn't know it comes with Ubuntu as well?! Yeah, I think it's like some kind of a firewall, but protecting some programs, too.

No, it's not a firewall. It doesn't care about trafficking through the network, but only what a program can do to the system internally. AppArmor is basically protecting the system from programs, but without destroying the functionality of the program, of course.
