Linux Security

[TouchuvGrey]

i just turned one of my compters into a linux
computer ( the plan was to make it a dual boot
machine [ windows/linux ] but i screwed up.

i have firestarter installed and running. Other
than that, what do i need for a good paranoid
security setup ?

Check this guide for securing Linux (http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-security/56175-short-guide-security.html).

Also two other tools you can check out are OSSEC (Host-based Intrusion Detection System) (http://www.ossec.net/en/home.html) and chkrootkit (rootkit scanner) (http://www.chkrootkit.org/).
