SOHO here. I use a Netgear firewall appliance and turn on only those
services that are absolutely needed. I also install all distribution
upgrades for packages I have installed. SSH allows only named users to
remotely log in; root's not one of them. Telnet is disabled. There may be
more, but the rest are not immediately recalled.
