I completely agree with Jason that there is a lot of little things that 
need to be done to secure a Raspberry Pi (or any other Linux box 
connected to the raw Internet).  In addition to all that, the Raspberry 
Pi platform poses unique challenges since it uses flimsy storage (SD 
card), prone to power issues, can be in a high RF environment, etc.  As 
such, I've been working on a Rpi hardening document document if anyone 
is interested:
