Just how vulnerable is a home user? I thought Linux was, in general, safer than MS Windows. Does it take constant vigilance? Am I more or less vulnerable than say a Win XP machine? I only want to compare relative security. I was hoping Linux was in general safer.
This is an area I am always concerned with, but feel I'm not understanding the whole picture. I know I've brought it up before, yet I still fell I'm missing something (like I don't quite see the big picture where security is concerned, Linux vs Windoze). Not intending to expand on the original subject, sorry. I do intend to update my machine, maybe in a few days, and will use 90K. I just have this nagging feeling that I need to be better informed in this who security area. Mind you, this would need to be in simple enough terms, since I'm not a Linux expert. OK, thanks for all the great feedback. As always, I appreciate the speed and quality. I'm still learning :) Mike -------------------- m2f -------------------- Sent using Mail2Forum (http://www.mail2forum.com).
