There was a thread on the Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts list ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
recently about this. Apparently someone had just hooked a Linux box
up to the cable, and was surprised to see how many of his neighbors'
Windows PC's were available for browsing.
I would think a constant connection would be more at risk than a dialup.
Probably you will want a book or two on Linux security issues.
