Hi Ron,

In addition to what Martin said, I believe (someone correct me if I'm
wrong!) that ubuntu has no network services running by default, not
even ssh, so you're fairly safe from that point of view as well. It's
not possible to compromise a network service that isn't listening to
anything.

Cheers,

Roger
