Suggested Reference Materials & FYI Topics

There is a percentage of threads on Techspot that are more reference and fyi related
than issue/problem solving.

lengthy debate or many multiple posts to get to the heart of an issue..

* While ubiqitous, those USB thumb drives need special care and handling Flash dive recovery procedures
* All systems need to be secured; step one is not running services you don't need ... Linux security tips
