    [ubuntu] Re: tcp Ports 53 and 631

    If you don't use a service and it is listening then it is offering you no benefit and exposes your system (in some way) to attack. This is part of basic hardening. I believe the CUPS packages are...

  12. Re: What is a good partition setup for a dual boot system on a 1TB SSD

    Set 64Gb. You can use the "something else" option in the installer for setting file systems up. The dual boot will be managed for you. I'm guessing your Windows OS was preinstalled or installed...
