[04:42] Hello [05:01] hello New2Ubuntu [05:02] Was starting to think its a bit quiet lol [05:02] Any chance I could ask a few questions ? [05:03] sure, if you need help #ubuntu will get you better answers though [05:03] Im there as well lol [05:03] Just thought I would check the aussie room out as well lol [05:04] Just started using 12.4 would this be a good version to start on ? [05:06] New2Ubuntu, yep, try and make sure it's the 12.04.2 version [05:07] Thats the one [05:07] Its quite a good layout [05:07] Coming from windows user perspective [05:08] good to hear [05:09] I notice you can do a lot from the terminal [05:09] Is there a user manual [05:09] silly question *go's to google* [05:11] New2Ubuntu, no real user manual, but most programs have a command list [05:12] so like windows you need anti virus or firewall software or can this all be set via terminal ? [05:13] New2Ubuntu, you don't need antivirus for linux, it's essentially virus proof [05:14] Ok what about unwanted access [05:14] Are there monitoring tools ? [05:21] yes, ranging from simple scripts, to firewalls (such as ufw) to full on monitoring systems [05:22] but by default most systems are only listening for ssh connections so the attack vector is much smaller than other OS's [05:22] (some OS's) [05:23] Easiest way if you are worried is to use a simple firewall such as https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall [05:23] note: have a look around on that wiki - lots of good info there [05:24] Great thats for the info [05:24] ty bbl need a restart === Termana is now known as Guest25401
