I just posted one 🙂

What I would like is to read a Security FAQ for Ubuntu. I mean, are their packages I should uninstall after installation that I don't need? Services to disable? Holes to plug? All I need to use are Apache2, SSL, and Samba.

Its for 5.04 but most of it is up to date (just the odd missing/changed packages such as JRE) and a few 5.10 addendums all the way at the bottom

There shouldn't be any holes to plug. What would be the point of installing a system that's already vulnerable?

I was always under the impression that Linux was suppose to be ultra customizeable...and to that end, comes with lots of "holes" that one must "plug" after installing. As little is changed by default as possible. Or am I wrong?

It is ultra customizable, but the defaults are much better than they used to be. Ubuntu is a desktop distribution, by default the ssh server isn't even installed let alone bad things like telnet and FTP.
 
What would the point be in installing and enabling an FTP server on a desktop? And why would thye install that but not an SSH server?
