im sitting here at work, looking for a new host for our website, and it dawned on me. Our provider was kind enough to give us 5 static ip addresses. So why bother hosting on someone elses server when i can do it here. I have a machine to play with, would redHat8 be a decent direction? What exactly do i need? and where would i go to find a good source about setting up the security?? thanks.

I use slackware for my server.... i upgraded to slackware from redhat.
security.......hmmmm *digs through files*... i'm probably not supposed to host this file but i'll put it up for you ppl to dl anyway. Its an 855 page PDF about securing Linux... http://chatroom.fuckmicrosoft.com:8000/lard/securing_and_optimizing_linux.pdf

Edit : Add these comments.
Those appendixes are very very interesting, I shall be reading this in detail, and I may shifty on over and buy a copy if this ever becomes a going concern for me.

you might also want to find a hacker(or cracker) guide somewhere... the best way to make sure your system is secure from hackers is to be a hacker/cracker to your own system and know what crackers will try to do. I will try to find a link to a good one (that i already have).

rootwars.org which runs hacker wargames has some documentation on security. here are a few on tactics used
