can mention basic tweaks ubuntu 12.04 ones we'd on win7 - firewall settings/ antivirus , supposed done basically.

!) there great security sticky's here on forum.

small contribution: disable things don't need via start-up applications

code:

sudo sed --in-place 's/nodisplay=true/nodisplay=false/g' *.desktop

now have list of applications applications start automagically. don't need them? disable them.
