Software Firewall - Good idea for starters and does it slow down server?

Hi,

I am in the process of configuring my new server and wanted to know which software firewall program to use - also is it true that these prorams slow down the server - if so, is it considerable?

Also, I plan to install an intruder detection system - is this a good idea? This system does the monitoring itself and requires minimum user intervention I hear?

Thanks! Software Firewall - Good idea for starters and does it slow down server?
