how do you know that for sure? ;)

Is there any effective program that can do real time
system logging onto another Linux machine (so it makes
it harder for the cracker to cover his/her tracks).

syslogd does it on it's own.  see man syslog.conf.

you will probably need to change the startup flags for syslogd on the remote 
box to listen on a port (udp).

Is it Outlook that runs macros or is it the word docs
that do it.
(sorry for asking a windows question)

dunno ;)

When I connect to the internet (via my linux box),
which files do I need to modify to stop other people
on the internet from accessing my network services (it
should make my linux box 99.9% secure when on the
internet right?).

you probably want iptables, though if you mean close network services localy 
then the best solution is to just not run things you don't need.

Is there a decent linux alternative to
Dreamweaver(only real reason why I still use windows).

dunno ;)
