Re: [coLinux-users] security questions

[Bri <br...@ib...>]

I have been using coLinux as a web and chat server for a 
month or so and have no security issues. What I did was get 
every thing up very insecure, then starting making it more 
secure. I use Apache and wu-ftp and am very happy with it. 
You should find a lot of security tip sites for your 
distribution as I have with Debian. I would think with your 
router should make you even more secure. I can't think of 
how your Windows OS would be at any more risk than if it 
were a standalone box across your desk.
Good Luck
Bri

Subject: [coLinux-users] security questions


Are there things best not done with Linux on a Windows 
system? What are some
of you doing with your Linux"machines," and have you noticed 
any significant
security problems? Right now I'm just doing a lot of 
learning but eventually
may want to run a web server of handle my email instead of 
hosting it
somewhere else. Are there significant advantages to doing 
this on a separate
physical machine as opposed to using CoLinux? If Windows IP 
is 192.168.1.102
and Linux is 192.168.1.104, will port forwarding that comes 
to 104 affect
102?

Thanks for any feedback. A couple of people have expressed 
some concerns to
me, but they are not using CoLinux themselves so I thought 
it better to ask
people who are.
