oh! No, the hardware is *not* my concern. It's the data! Let me quickly recap. Let's try points this time
- The Linux system I build will be on someone else's network (mostly other potentially hostile companies) - The system provides a web interface to a database that users should access & use - The users should not be able to steal/mount the disk, to dump my database or look at my code - I know such setup will never be 100% secure, I just need to make stealing the data as hard as possible Hope that's clear.
