Are you talking about on the Windows side, or the Linux side?? The one virus that you should be concerned with on the Linux side is a particularly insideous virus called the "Good Times" virus. This has been around since the early 90s and can target any e-mail system. It continues its resurgence despite repeated efforts to put it down. You can find out more about it and how to protect against it at: http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/notes/Notes09.shtml or google Goodtimes virus. Consider this my public service for the year.

Fedora 1 - Realtek card (swapped out the MN-130) - dualboot with Win ME - and working like a charm:) It's so much faster cleaner and better than the old Windows that I wish I could get rid of Win entirely but I know if I do somebody'll complain so it stays. Now - what're good security measures for a public internet terminal (which is basically what it is)? I already have the firewall set at a high level, but what should I do beyond that? Do I need to setup some form of antivirus protection?
