The debian documentation has some extensive information about securing your machine, with emphasis on servers: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ I have used it as a guide several times, and consider it really helpful. Regards.
The table of contents looks like what I may need.I do not intend to run a server. In fact some of my motivation was to make sure I did not do so unintentionally.
Thank you

I expected links for guidance at http://www.debian.org/security/faq &/or http://www.debian.org/security . Both seems to be focused on internals than interaction with outside world. I would suggest a list of links such as: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Security-Quickstart-HOWTO http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO.html http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IPCHAINS-HOWTO.html Are there Debian specific pages I should be looking at? Thank you.
