You feel far more superior and safer than you did prior to using Linux.

Jan. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- So much more safer you feel like there's nothing more you need to do to keep your machine and

your data safe. And relatively speaking you are correct, but I want to make sure you

know that there are things you can do to make sure that machine is as safe as it can

be without having to unplug the machine from the network.
To that end, I offer up five tips that will ensure that Ubuntu Linux desktop is safe

and secure. These tips are all such that any level of end user can undertake them

without having to take classes in PCs or Linux administration.
Use solid passwords
As of 2010, the most common passwords used are:
  1. 123456
  2. 12345
  3. 123456789
  4. Password
  5. iloveyou
  6. princess
  7. rockyou
  8. 1234567
  9. 12345678
 10. abc123

It should be obvious that anyone and everyone must avoid using the above passwords.

What is not so obvious is how most users ignore the pleas of software manufacturers,

administrators, and everyone in between to use secure, unique passwords. Even though

the Linux operating system is a solid environment, you are not exempt from this.

Because Linux is a multi-user OS every user should have a very unique password.

These passwords should follow the standard requirements:
   * Upper and lowercase letters.
   * Include a number.
   * Include special characters such as #,!,$.
Linux is a mult-user OS. If you have more than one user on your system, make sure

that each and every user has a log in. Unless dictated by need, do not have a

general user account that everyone uses. If you use a single account, everyone will

have access to each users' data. To set up new user accounts click on System >

Adminster > Users And Groups to take advantage of the user-friendly GUI tool.
Update your software.

There is a reason updates occur. In many instances, those updates are often security

driven. Because of this, you will not want to make a habit of ignoring updates. You

will know, right away, when an update is available as it will appear in your

notification area. When this happens, click on the icon, enter your sudo password,

and allow the updates to complete.
