Honestly, Asterisk, DNS, email, web, or just a box that stores your 
photos. I can't imagine putting ANY machine onto the public internet 
without some decent firewall rules in place and a pretty good password 
audit for any accounts on the box.  This is why we keep getting signups 
to our service from random web or socks proxies -- because people leave 
these unprotected machines out to get rooted and abused.
