There is a new Win7 laptop for my wife scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
Her old Dell XP machine will be re-purposed as a Linux machine whose
only (deliberate) exposure to the outside world will be the four
websites where we conduct our financial business (2 banks and 2
investment houses).
However, this machine will be on a LAN with two Win7 machines and a
printer attached to one of the Win7 machines.
How is the Linux machine vulnerable across the LAN and how can I
mitigate it?
Thanks,
Chuck Norcutt
