In todays connected (24x7) world we definitely need more security whether we are using Windows or Linux. All the systems are under threat and secuirty is becoming a must. Linux offres more security than Windows but M$ is patching its faults with care, and Vista is M$'s most secure OS ever. I think now Linux community should develop something which can be used by a novice without knowing too much of the underlying system. The Linux security tools are powerful enough but we need a more user friendly version of those tools.

BTW can iptables and shorewall reside on the same system without affecting each other? Also is there anyone who is using shorewall in his system?

I know, I am secure enough with firestarter/iptables but want to experiment with more powerful tools just for curiosity. BTW I have installed webmin (thanks JGuru for that) and learning its use right now. It is a veryful powerful software (used it first on PCQLinux provided by PCQuest magazine) so needs a little care while handling.
