What about what Linux security?

No viable live viruses at present nor likely.

No virus scanners needed. No firewall needed even unless you're going to
start playing with setting up open services.

There's still all the usual web scams to be alert to.

You need the usual common sense.

Your security is mainly in how physically inaccessible your PC is and
how long and obscure your login password is.


Anything in particular?

Cheers,
Martin
