1) subscribe to the bugtraq mailing list. I believe they have a website @
www.securityfocus.com.
2) A good Unix administration book will help put in context what you
want/need to do. I.e., is this a webserver (pretty insecure by its
nature), a host on a corporate intra/internet, etc.
Unix Suystem Admin Handbook, Prentice Hall, Evi Nemeth, et all
Essential System Admin, O'Reilly, Aeleen Frisch
If you only have one I like Nemeth as it sorts out the differences
between various Unixes and is pretty complete.
Bugtraq does not fits your easy to understand criteria, but if you toss
the NT stuff and stick with it, there is a lot to be learned by reading
what you can understand. I think there are archives somewhere also.
