Next thing to do is getting a firewall up and running, and installing / securing necessary services like apache, sshd, bind, samba and nfs. Well, to keep it short, that's my story. Until now. the mailing list(s) archives and the handbook were able to solve any of my problems, but that won't be so forever I guess.
