Hi.
OK, I've been frolicking with penguins almost a year so far. Time has come to do more serious stuff.
Webservers, and get people up-and-running on Linux. Even feel comfortable to give free 2-hour briefings to schools, local "Chamber-of-Commerce" and small business groups, to give an awareness of linux. I reckon it's close enough for the desktop. At least, for the apps. I've seen most people running (WP, Powerpoint, web browsing)
(Once I move house after Christmas, www.linuxforall.org (mine!!) will do exactly that - promoting Linux, and testimonials. Definitely non-geek).
But, I want/need to set up webservers, etc.
Being very conscious that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing I really need a step-by-step guide to security.
OK, I know there's lots out there, but just missing one point could leave me wide open.
System is RH 8, wanna use Apache /webmin via ssl.
Suggestions/ biblography gratefully received.
Thanks, all.

P.S. Forgot one point. Does anyone know a website that'll bash the crap out of my ports? Like Gibson Research, but more (all?) ports. Beats insulting the local script kiddie....
