Still reading:
It is important to remember that turning on the private browsing setting or deleting your browsing history will only prevent other people using your computer from seeing which sites you have visited. Your internet service provider, search engine, law enforcement agencies and possibly (if browsing at work) your employer, will still be able to see which sites you have visited or keywords you have searched for.

Have been reading about backing up data.
Like this:Do not use USB memory sticks, recordable CDs or DVDs to back up your data. Although these may appear to be inexpensive and convenient methods, they shave limited capacity and are also easily lost or stolen. CDs and DVDs are also very slow to transfer your data.
You know what I'm referring to, Michael, don't you? -

(1) It depends on the data and what level of security you require.
(2) It depends on whether the people promoting one method over another have an axe to grind.
CDs/DVDs are probably best for photo storage-- something that won't change over a period of time. I use USB memory sticks, and as far as the lost/stolen issue--- that can be handled any number of ways. They make personal safes for example-- you can store a number of sticks/CDs/DVDs in a personal safe.
An external hard-drive is good. Many of these come with back-up software, and while the initial back-up can be glacially slow subsequent incremental backups are usually not bad. If you have a LOT of data, an external hard-drive has a lot to recommend it.
Right now, Cloud backup is popular. In my never-to-be-humble opinion, it may be the least trustworthy simply because it is on the Internet and therefore anybody who can crack your username/password can easily steal everything you store there.

Reading about Linux:
** This page provides advice on some of the most important activities that are particularly relevant for protecting Linux workstations. It includes advice for people running individual Linux workstations (for example, home or small business users).**
What do they mean by that "workstation" thing?

joshl, workstation means the actual (physical) computer, Tower, Screen, Keyboard and mouse. Or in the case of a laptop, the whole machine.

So shall I conclude there's no big deal and that it's simple like workstation=hardware+software precisely?

Well, what I wanted to know is that the content applies to regular Linux users. Doesn't it? -

Going to hit some movie...
My Chrome crashed today on exit again - it seems however influences, the session's duration is a major factor.

Reading Wikipedia about the Isle of Skye:
In 1549 Donald Munro, High Dean of the Isles, wrote of "Sky": "This Ile is callit Ellan Skiannach in Irish, that is to say in Inglish the wyngit Ile, be reason it has mony wyngis and pointis lyand furth fra it, throw the dividing of thir foirsaid Lochis."
English translation from Lowland Scots
