I wanted to commemorate this post. This is a very good post covering nearly all important aspects of Linux security, at least for the basics. I'm thankful the author wrote it and will be using it in the coming days.

I was looking for a way to view my system logs under Debian, as I have been having difficulties logging in and the magical faeries of cyberland lead me to this...
