It's a battle as old as time: good vs. evil. Fortunately, Linux and FOSS are on our side as we wage the battle against those who try to steal our secrets and invade our systems.
Checking your system's security is best done sooner rather than later. Test the locks with our article on security verification; find out how to use PAM to help secure your systems; use MinorFS and AppArmor to implement discretionary access control; learn more about Samba security in part III of our series; use Darknet to help detect bots and secure your systems; use the Yubikey to increase your site's security; and don't forget to lock the doors, because a cold boot attack could render your security useless if somebody has physical access to your computer.
But, we're not just about sowing the seeds of fear. We also show you how to use memcached in Rails, how to manage multiple servers efficiently, how to deploy applications easily with Capistrano, how to manage your videos with MythVideo, how to mix it up a bit (your audio that is), and even play a few games.

My upgrade experience: Just upgraded to Mac OS X 10.1.3 on March 19th. I've got a PowerMac G4 400 with 512mb ram. To my surprise, the upgrade went very smoothly. Popped the CD in and performed the upgrade in less than 10 minutes. I used xOptimize to get a performance boost out of all my new OS X applications. Downloaded for free a utility called Brickhouse to configure the built in firewall. I'm in the process of upgrading to GoLive 6 and Acrobat 5 for OS X ... but both of my old web development apps run fine in Classic. I run Linux at home on an old Performa 6400/200. What really impresses me about Mac OS X is the superior workflow management. Its better than Windows, the old Mac OS 9, and Linux desktop. I've been running the new system non-stop for 9 days straight, no crashes.
