Hi all.
I'm quite excited whilst writing this, its my first post from my new toy, a P3 linux machineIts my first attempt at using linux outside of work and university, so i'm learning a lot of things from new. I'm quite pleased that i managed to install a 56k internal modem tonight, but it made me wonder, do i need a firewall and or antivirus with linux? Sorry if its a stupid question but i really have no clue. I know linux is fairly seure, but i'm not sure what security measures i need to employ. The distribution i'm using is Ubuntu.
Thanks in advance for any help people can give
Andy
