Thanks for all the Info from everyone.
I have a lot to go over.
>From what I've read in the responses is that Ip chains potect to a degree and 
I should turn off ports I don't need.  I should be proactive in my response 
to my box rather than reactive after a situation.

The network I'm on is I would say a not trusted network.  Since anyone can 
log in and I don't know if there a causual user or a cracker.  So I am a 
little concerned but I don't have a lot on the box.  

The only thing I didn't know anything about was the stack-smash protection.  
Is it that important?  Sorry Debian didn't work out for you.

Thanks Again, Everyone
Tim
