| New2Ubuntu | Hello | 04:42 |
|---|---|---|
| Noskcaj | hello New2Ubuntu | 05:01 |
| New2Ubuntu | Was starting to think its a bit quiet lol | 05:02 |
| New2Ubuntu | Any chance I could ask a few questions ? | 05:02 |
| Noskcaj | sure, if you need help #ubuntu will get you better answers though | 05:03 |
| New2Ubuntu | Im there as well lol | 05:03 |
| New2Ubuntu | Just thought I would check the aussie room out as well lol | 05:03 |
| New2Ubuntu | Just started using 12.4 would this be a good version to start on ? | 05:04 |
| Noskcaj | New2Ubuntu, yep, try and make sure it's the 12.04.2 version | 05:06 |
| New2Ubuntu | Thats the one | 05:07 |
| New2Ubuntu | Its quite a good layout | 05:07 |
| New2Ubuntu | Coming from windows user perspective | 05:07 |
| Noskcaj | good to hear | 05:08 |
| New2Ubuntu | I notice you can do a lot from the terminal | 05:09 |
| New2Ubuntu | Is there a user manual | 05:09 |
| New2Ubuntu | silly question *go's to google* | 05:09 |
| Noskcaj | New2Ubuntu, no real user manual, but most programs have a command list | 05:11 |
| New2Ubuntu | so like windows you need anti virus or firewall software or can this all be set via terminal ? | 05:12 |
| Noskcaj | New2Ubuntu, you don't need antivirus for linux, it's essentially virus proof | 05:13 |
| New2Ubuntu | Ok what about unwanted access | 05:14 |
| New2Ubuntu | Are there monitoring tools ? | 05:14 |
| debenham | yes, ranging from simple scripts, to firewalls (such as ufw) to full on monitoring systems | 05:21 |
| debenham | but by default most systems are only listening for ssh connections so the attack vector is much smaller than other OS's | 05:22 |
| debenham | (some OS's) | 05:22 |
| debenham | Easiest way if you are worried is to use a simple firewall such as https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall | 05:23 |
| debenham | note: have a look around on that wiki - lots of good info there | 05:23 |
| New2Ubuntu | Great thats for the info | 05:24 |
| New2Ubuntu | ty bbl need a restart | 05:24 |
