It's a battle as old as time: good vs. evil. Fortunately, Linux and FOSS are on our side as we wage the battle against those who try to steal our secrets and invade our systems.
Checking your system's security is best done sooner rather than later. Test the locks with our article on security verification; find out how to use PAM to help secure your systems; use MinorFS and AppArmor to implement discretionary access control; learn more about Samba security in part III of our series; use Darknet to help detect bots and secure your systems; use the Yubikey to increase your site's security; and don't forget to lock the doors, because a cold boot attack could render your security useless if somebody has physical access to your computer.
But, we're not just about sowing the seeds of fear. We also show you how to use memcached in Rails, how to manage multiple servers efficiently, how to deploy applications easily with Capistrano, how to manage your videos with MythVideo, how to mix it up a bit (your audio that is), and even play a few games.
On Office Suites

In my Middle School, most students do not have access to Microsoft Office or use a very old version. Many students use Wordperfect or something else that came with their computer. A few use just Wordpad. Some students use OpenOffice.org, though they're still a minority. Very few have one of the past couple of versions of Microsoft Office.
However, about all middle school students use an iPod (though iRivers, Zens, and Zunes are not unseen). A decent player for that is essential. Most iPod users use iTunes though, which is why 3rd party applications are usually inadequate. A lot of students ask for iTunes gift cards for gifts and everything else.
Me? I use Openoffice.org and listen to music using Canola on my N800.
