However I suck with computers. I get lost extremely easy. Someone told me that Debian is not secure at all unless I harden it by doing this:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/secu ... ian-howto/
So is this system pretty much exposed to attacks unless I do all the above? I am not trying to be lazy but I cannot seem to do anything right in the steps above. My console just gives me errors left and right.
And next, there is this:
So do I have to manually go to the security site and download the security update and apply it? Or can I just run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ??4.2 Execute a security update
As soon as new security bugs are detected in packages, Debian maintainers and upstream authors generally patch them within days or even hours. After the bug is fixed, a new package is provided on http://security.debian.org.
Will running the general update commands also include newest security fixes or do I have to run separate commands for specific security updates?
