2 things you could do;

1. Setup a firewall
2. Turn off the services

I've also just migrated to Linux from the 'dark side'. I've tried to set up
these, but seem to have failed miserably. The rather large manual I have
doesn't seem to help, as I can't find the necessary bits in a form I can
understand! Are there any websites or publications which are aimed at
'starters' so that the essential bits and pieces are a bit more obvious, and
not swamped by the minutiae of 'how to be a systems expert'?
