Certainly the topic I posted, while not directly related to Linux, is pertinent to many members of our community who possibly dual boot. My idea is just to open the door for folks to ask questions.
Where would we put it?
Maybe changing uncategorized to security, or sub to support & help
Do we need one?
YES - I believe any computer help forum need to have an area about security.
Are there any existing topics that are related to security?
What sort of topics would this section contain?
The post I made earlier is a prime example. Posting pertinent timely information to our members is just plain responsible.
- firewall configuration
- discussion about opening ports as related to web services
- guidelines and vulnerabilities of setting up a commercial product such as MyCloud
- setting up open source OwnCloud
- certificates
- SSL
- physical access
- routers
I’m a member of a few Face Book private groups, primarily photography, and have received thanks for posting items similar to the one posted earlier.
I’m a retired internet security specialist from a large financial institution and firmly believe education and knowledge is paramount to safe computing.
This community reaches many folks many of which might benefit from open discussions if the door is open and welcoming.
I’m a relative newbie to this community and just want to increase the interest level. You probably know the wants, needs, and interests well enough … I stated my case and opinions … your call!
