[Eug-lug] NERDvana! Wireless Ubuntu, finally!

[Mr O]

Secure? What kind of encryption are you using on your wireless?
Do you know for a fact that nobody else can connect to it?
Otherwise, you're generally safe from viruses and malware but
packet sniffing is still a reality no matter what the OS. As
long as the traffic is encrypted on secure connections you can
worry much less. 

That be all,
Mr O.
