Linux users:

I am paranoid about being port scanned. Mainly because I don't
understand what exactly that is but I do wish to have as secure of a
network as possible.

One thing I do is log on with all the accounts I intend to use on my
Linux machine BEFORE I connect to the internet with ADSL.

I simply haven't taken the time yet to read all the security
literature that I have currently. Is there something that is more or
less a quick read to get one started?

I wish to have my Linux box as a firewall and the gateway eventually.

Mark
