Red Hat provides for free security fixes via up2date.  This should be
considered mandatory if your system doesn't have enough firewalls in front
of it to block the bad guys.  A Linksys or other DSL/Cable router/firewall
doesn't hurt either.  Low cost, and by default, all incoming access is
blocked.

I don't know if you've read any articles from the HoneyPot project yet.
These guys will set up systems out of the box without downloading security
fixes and see how long it takes to get hacked.  It's typically under an
hour!  When I first got cable modem access, I saw multiple international
connection attempts in under a day.

Yup - a coworker brought some in last week.  Good and fattening...
