Securing Jolicloud

I’ve found out that securing Jolicloud is very much the same as securing Ubuntu.  How?  Hit the keys Alt – F1 on your keyboard, and you’ll get to see a terminal.  In a terminal, do a command of [sudo -i], and type in your user password to become root.  Use the secure tips from my earlier posts on how to secure Ubuntu and so on from here and here.  You can install other applications that Jolicloud hides from you by using the command of [aptitude install whatever-package-you-want-or-know-of].  Make sure you install a firewall in Jolicloud to protect you from remote attacks by using the command of [aptitude install firestarter].  Paranoid?  You can install ClamAV to scan files for viruses in case you want to transfer some files from Jolicloud to Windows systems by using the command of [aptitude install clamav].
