.... to already be aware the 2nd day of usage that there is such a thing as 'APT', even more that there is a thing called YUM (which is what Red Hat uses, not Ubuntu) and then the mention of IPTABLES of course...
In any case, good to think about security. I can't recall the last time I installed a firewall or a virus scanner. To me, mew worms and virusses are ipso facto not detectable until there is a patch...
I currently do not have control of the amount of bandwidth I use, do you? I control how much I download though, but not how long it takes.
For that I only have 2 options: 5Mbps down or 15Mbps down.
Once the ISP provide me with a pipe, please do not try to financially control how I would use it. It's my prerogative to check email once a week or have my NZB's running 24/7.
Der Spiegel has some information on Germany's own "PRISM" project.
Until now, the monitoring capabilities of the BND have been much more modest than those of its big brother, the NSA, but they basically work according to the same principles. At key junctions for digital traffic in the country, the German foreign intelligence agency has set up its own technical accesses.
