Yeah noticed that as well. First thing I do is (on debian), update packages and the kernel, install ufw (allow only 22), fail2ban, postfix and logwatch. Then setup a non privileged user, sudo, turn of root ssh and password auth and move to key based auth.

Then I can sleep/configure the rest of the system.

Been meaning to package this all up in an ansible playbook but I can't be bothered :(

I'd be using FreeBSD if they offered it. Much like OpenBSD it's a lot more pleasant for sysadmins!
