In a word? Very.
But... if you're into the "lock down everything" you can probably find some tips at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/

Compared to windows. If the Internet is a pack of hungry wolves windows will be a fawn. You would hope you get lost in the herd. Linux is like a tank. Unless you do something real stupid, like log in as root an surf the web. You can run over the wolves through them by them and past them.
That is my 2 cents
