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.
No Choice...?

Seriously, you have only one choice? Satellite service is not an option? Cellular service too? I sincerely doubt that. Having lived in small town, I know Comcast only offers service in metro areas. If you choose Comcast because it's faster than a slower DSL connection, or cheaper than a Verizon aircard, that is a choice you made.
In the small town I moved from we had 2 cable companies (neither was Comcast), 1 DSL provider, 2 Satellite providers, and 3 cellular service providers that offered 3G service.
As for where I live now, I was told Comcast was only available in my area, but I found out there was much more... For $40/mo I have FIOS (Comcast charges $45/mo at half the speed), DSL through at least 2 different providers, and of course the Satellite providers... But while I was waiting for installation, I was using my AT&T 3G phone for service, sure I couldn't download movies, but I had access to the information services that were a necessity to me after moving over 700 miles away.
