Security Pointers & DSL questions...



Hello All,

Anyone have any pointers to docs and/or books on securing a Linux system?

I've ordered my DSL service, and if all goes right I'll have it by the end
of the month.

I've got my Linux box IP Masquerading so the other machines on the network
can get out.  I've also signed up with Visi.com to have a static IP when I
get all hooked up.

I want to be able to protect my Linux box and small network, but still be
able to get in to access files, etc. when I need to.  I don't think this is
an unrealistic goal, but if I knew better I wouldn't have to ask right??  8D

Now, will I be able to send e-mail to "username@<my IP address>"? or how
does that whole picture look??

If those of you that have set this type of thing up can think of anything I
need to keep in mind, or consider - please by all means let me know...

Thanks to all!!
