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.

When I put my Mother on Linux she has done nothing but thank me :-) and she boasts and boasts to all of her friends everytime a new Windows virus comes out (or whenever someone complains of their computer hanging)
I have her on SuSE 8.0 (haven't got around to upgrading her to 8.1) and so far she hasn't had any hasles that I couldn't fix over the phone.
Ok so she's not my Grandmother, but she will be a Grandmother in June when my wife gives birth to my first child.
Also in my house we have 7 Systems (ok I am a bit of a computer nut) of which 6 are running Linux number 7 is running Solaris 8 until my download of Debian 3.0r1 for Sparc completes and I never missed windows 1 little bit :-) (last time I had that O/S installed was Windows 98 in 1998)
