They had firewall capability, sure. But out of the box, they were not turned on.
And 6 years ago, firewalls were *MUCH MORE* necessary on Linux than on Windows. Because out of the box, the typical Linux system 6 years ago had telnetd, sshd, sendmail, ftpd, rpc services, and any number of other exploitable services enabled by default.
