Hello Mark, |

I think I'll put the R stuff as research interest on a separate |
| 31 |
machine to evaluate... I'm Looking for some guidance on this |
| 32 |
(VM) subject, related to online stock trading. Should I set up a |
| 33 |
machine on a hardened system? SeLinux? Other ideas like a |
| 34 |
transparent bride with some specific application filtering? |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Should I setup a specific application firewall between the VM system |
| 37 |
and the outside net? A generic security (architectural) approach is of |
| 38 |
keen interest to me (reading references?). Windows security for me is |
| 39 |
often troublesome; so specific (private?) suggestions are also of keen |
| 40 |
interest to me. |
