Re: securing a fedora 12 pc on a lan

If you

(a) use default F12 installation options (firewall and SELinux turned on),
(b) don't give away your user and root passwords to anyone (and use strong
password choices),
(c) don't do any ignorant changes to the system (ie. understand what you are
about to do *before* you actually do it),

you'll be pretty safe from anyone gaining any access to your F12 box. In
general, Linux (Fedora in particular) is considered more safe than windows in
this regard.

So if you try not to do anything stupid, the default Fedora installation will
provide you with quite good security.

HTH, :-)
