How cool is my computer !!!

I've been setting up my zenwalk install for the past couple of weeks now, yesterday it was the latest Nvidia drivers, today it was compiling firestarter from source. Before all that it was getting it to look cool.
Well today after setting up firestarter I decided to give it a whirl on the 'Shields Up' site. I remember when I used to try this under windows, despite my best efforts, Id never pass anything which was really annoying. Well today I gave it another shot and this is what I got http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/4171/stealth1up7.th.jpg (http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/4171/stealth1up7.jpg)

Of course I realise that by default linux has all its ports closed so this probably isn't anything all that impressive, but to me its fantastic. When I tested using the 'all service ports' I had them all closed except for one (Im not saying which one) but I dont know, I'm guessing that this port is for the internet or something???

I think that if my computer was a trained killer that it would be a ninja.

I checked my system's security several months ago in that same site. No doubt Linux is rock solid but being behind a router helps a lot. I say this because even my older machine with Windows 98 SE got the best 'possible results' in that site.

Never tried that test using a wireless connection.

you should lookup which port was open and find out why it's open. closed is OK, but open isn't. which port was it? 443?
