Well, the high-scoring workstation choices cost too much for me, and/or
did not have a version for Linux. Server choices are not appropriate
for my situation. So I'll stick with rkhunter, chkrootkit, NoScript,

There are actually *two* reasons for starting this thread. First, to get

What do you mean by anti-malware. If you mean the same as anti-virus,
than no I don't want it. Anti-virus software has significant performance
costs, risks of being an entry point for attack by malware itself and
may cause problems when there are false pos

The analogy kind of breaks down since I would prefer a pair of worn out boots
to even a brand new one for a long hike. I'm sitting at
ownloads etc.
And you know what the biggest bit of irony is in this anti-virus thread?
The AV vendors want you to run a blackbox mystery binary in order to
"protect your system". Um, yea. That gives me a warm secure feeling.

The trouble is that many people view anti-virus as some sort of comfy
security blanket, when the reality is that the blanket is full of holes
and highly flammable. There's really only one thing that keeps a
computer safe, and that's using it sensibly.

I would go with the flow. Redhat 6 is out in beta. You might
have to go with 5.x and upgrade. IT likes having support for
any problems. We use Redhat our servers and Fedora for our
work stations.
