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.
A short answer to this one

I don't have a problem with my ISP offering me different types of services. I'd gladly take the one that suits my needs best at a fair price.
My beef is with those guys selling me a general "Internet connection" (whatever) and, behind my back, without my knowledge, throttling it down or interfering with the contents. That is cheating, stealing, deceiving, and should be *harshly* punished by regulation!
And it *has* to be by regulation, with *huge* penalties and all. The mere fact that I, a single customer, walk away from them will not make a dent in their business... The *consumer* is the weak link in that relationship.
