[lug] Workstation or CUSTOME

[John Hernandez]

This probably goes without saying, but be sure to turn off ALL network 
servers BEFORE putting the machine on the 'net.  You can use 'netstat 
-pan' or 'lsof -i' to see what's on.  Once RPMs are updated, only then 
should you turn back on any services that are needed.  To be thorough, 
also check the state of services after a reboot (while unplugged from 
the 'net).
