Here's a quick rule of thumb, don't install every
package, especially ones that you don't know or
specifically need, you could be creating security
holes.
Go look around for security documents, it'll show you
things that you need and don't need. Also,
mandrake7.1 (and 7.2) has a security level feature in
in drakconf, set it to maximum.
