<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have bought a new Elinux machine from Evesham with Mandrake 9.1 installed. This is for home use on a standalone basis. The man from Telewest is due to come soon to give me cable broadband. I've asked for the network card option (thanks for the advice Xander). As a novice I'd be grateful for advice on what, if anything, I need to do pre-installation (I won't get any help from Telewest man on Linux) and what the best security options are once the connection is up.</FONT></P>
