Need some guides and informations

i have some questions those i am unsure about .
How safe is accessing internet with LINUX..
in case of windows i have win2k and i am limiting my access to internet from Windows (i am mostly doing in LINUX) but still i got thr firewal(kerio2X)l Ez latest and AVG 7 and TDS... and spywareblaster,spybot and adaware for security(i have other installations ready like NAV,KAV,Trojan Hunter, Trojan Remover but not installing all at once.. but keeping it clean and nice and i think secured)
how safe i am??
how does rootkit affect system??

 

hello anyone??!!!!

 

if your linux internal firewall system and kernel are configured correctly I would say that it's the most secure piece of software built yet !

 

my internal firewall is placed to high security and thats it... and ya i was just thinking and ofcourse got advice from one and all...
LINUX IS THE MOST SECURE OS.... its nice here in this world

 

Wasn't the "most secure os" not actually this one http://www.openbsd.org ?

sorry but i did not understand you

 

Definitely!!!! With all due respect to you FluxGFX, I would far rather rely on the security of OpenBSD then Linux. However, OpenBSD has less of the bells and whistles then Linux, so for most people it is a less viable alternative as a desktop OS. Still, as a server or firewall it is very secure and stable.
