Back when we started with linux, there was not that much info on how-to configure
and secure everything. We had to search the web and study a lot to do it - hopefully -
the right way.
To spare you the trouble of having to do the same, I will try to create a small repository
of all the diverse information that we found useful all those years. And, if you want to
give a little help with building a bigger and better place for all linux community,
we will be glad to include everything you care to send that could be relevant to this
experience.
This server started originally with a RedHat™ distribution and was upgraded when
7.1 version came out; and it was soon afterwards that things got a little 'out on control',
with various upgrades and additions like newer kernel, dhcpcd, firewall, new ext3
filesystem and quota, update from XFree to XOrg (easy if you remember to
keep a few config files), not to mention some more 'exotic' additions.
Anyway, I hope you find something useful here, and will be looking forward for your
feedback.
We have also created a few simple documents that we think will help you see the advantages of Linux and to assist you in how to easily migrate into this operating system.
