[QUOTE="shadov, post: 15963"] [b]security[/b] Most Unix systems have robust firewalls built in kernel. OS X uses ipfw from FreeBSD. If it is good enough for the biggest web servers out there it is good enough for you :) And you don't need to worry about viruses or spyware. (Not sure about spyware, but definately it isn't as big broblem as in Windows) If you need additional security for your files, check out [url=http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/filevault/]FileVault[/url]. Note that some people have had problems with it, so do a little backround study before enabling it. [/QUOTE]
