In Josh's defense, it looked like a spoon-feed request.  He's generally
pretty helpful to noobs who ask questions with any thought behind them. 
My inclination was to refer the OP to:
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I also harked back to another mailing list, in a previous century, and the
question "How do I configure the best firewall?".  The goofery and
ridicule went on for days, including pictures of wirecutters.
