I have dabbled off and on with Linux for a long time now. I consider myself adequate but certain no expert. I just chopped my hard drive in half (not literally) and loaded Ubuntu on my laptop. My reasoning is simple to keep my skills sharp. Now the questions.
My past Linux exposure was with Red Hat. Are there any major differences I should be aware of with Ubuntu?
Second, using Windows you had to be concerned with spyware, adware, viruses, firewalls and on and on. How much of this is a concern with Linux? Any recommendations as far as which programs to try?
Anything else I didn’t think about that I should know?
Thanks in advance for the crash course.
