[plug] Q about my new computer

[Jude Cullity]

Hi, I joined up at the start of the year because I wnted to buy a new
computer and set up with Linux.

Now that the Govt's meta-data retention scheme has just kicked off, I am
interested in how to protect my privacy.

The guy I bought my computer off, offered me a 3 month free phone help with
my new Linux system.  He said that if I had trouble, he could log onto my
machine remotely and see what I was doing so he could help trouble shoot.
Does this constitute a backdoor?  How can I disable it?
