Thanks for a great article. Although I have installed many distros, I don't consider myself a system administrator or security expert. Linux installation has become friendly enough that I haven't had to dig very deep to get it to work. I have been test driving *Ubuntu distros for less than a year. Your article clarified many things for me, some not security specific. Your straightforward article should be required reading for anyone about to plunge into *Ubuntu.
