So I'm teaching myself how to use linux using Ubuntu, and I was just browsing through the free and open thread in GBS when this was posted regarding linux:Jailbrekr posted:And please, for the love of Pete, run it in a VM with snapshotting enabled if you are just starting to learn. Until you have a basic grab of how linux patching and security works you run the very real risk of it becoming someones ssh/http proxy. Is this something to really worry about? Are there any settings I should adjust in order to protect myself?

The only network-related changes I've done is open up port 64738 for murmur, and I've got that forwarded via my lovely home router(Netgear WNR2000v2). I've been browsing this thread on and off, too.

I decided to make the jump to 12.04 and it runs much smoother than 11 did, but QuickSynergy keeps dropping connection for me and unfortunately that's pretty much a deal breaker for me Any idea what might be causing this? EDIT: Ubuntu is running as a client, and it seems to be happening whenever I try and use a hotkey in the Ubuntu system, i.e. ctrl+L or Alt+Tab, etc...
