You're doing just fine.
It's very rare for a linux system to get a bug. Really. Consider that
most bugs out there are written by young people that live in Windows.
They can't write bugs for linux because they're not familiar with the
OS; and it's significantly harder to write a program or a script to harm
a linux (or other unix) machine - best way to hurt a linux box is
directly attacking the ports with DoD/DoS and other port jamming
strategies...IF they work...

So, all in all, you don't have much to worry about. Enjoy linux.
