Linux and Windows do have one thing in common: fresh installs aren’t always as secure as they should be. While Linux may have an edge in that its easier to update downloadable ISO images than CD’s distributed through OEM’s and retailers, there’s still a good chance you’ve got several out-of-date packages (and probably an earlier kernel) in your new installation.
Securing a New Linux Installation by Barry O’Donovan over at Linux Gazette shows us how we can resolve this problem quickly. It’s good reading for novices and masters alike, and it’s solid advice.
