No matter which Linux distribution you choose, there are at least 10 things you do to properly prepare the operating system for connection to the Internet.

It is just a fact of life in the information age, every newly installed operating system, regardless of which one you choose, requires preparatory tweaks to the configuration files before it can be considered ready for day-to-day use. This download lists 10 things you should do to a new Linux PC before connecting to the Internet. The list was submitted by Kirk R. Halyk in answer to a TechRepublic IT Soapbox blog challenge for substantive information on the Linux operating system. Other submissions made in answer to that challenge can be found using the Linux challenge tag.
