Hi,
I've recently got my Linux (Debian) box set up back to how it was before
I broke it.  (Well M$ FDISK decided to make a FAT32 partition overlap my
EXT2 which was nice when I tried to format the FAT32..)  What should I
do to make the system more secure?  I no longer have dual boot, only
Linux because I was pissed off with what M$ FDISK done.

I'm only on a dialup box and I have no local network.  Any tips/ideas?

I need to have http and anonymous ftp connections allowed and I also
need to be able to telnet in.

TIA
