It does seem that way, doesn't it? Kinda makes LQ special I think.

No, not really. I know enough to require more backups than others do :-]

:LOL:

I've looked into SELinux, installing and using it. Initially there seems to be some work to getting it setup. But I think that goes with anything. (Do it right)

Everything at home sits behind a DSL Modem with a built in firewall (turned on) and a Router with a built in firewall (also turned on). Not sure I need SELinux, other than to learn what it is all about (on CentOS 5.2).

I've had no problems with my Slackware box, but I need to look into Hardening it since I plan to put it out in the Internet. It would be a good education.
