4) Configuration:
a) Setup her firewall to exclude all inbound and allow only 443,80 -
seriously. Not kidding!
b) Setup her system to require she login, not auto login.
c) Optionally - encrypt her a Disk Image If you're hesitant about
encrypting your entire Home directory but need to safeguard a few
sensitive files, store them in an encrypted disk image instead. To
make one, launch Disk Utility (found in Applications: Utilities),
click on New Image, and then choose AES-128 from the Encryption
pull-down menu.
d) Add Tracking software =(theft is huge):
