Samuel Dravis Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I would like to know if anyone knows of any Linux distros that have a good, secure server packaged with it. The reason I'm asking is that we are getting broadband (YAY! ) within the next month or so, and my dad wants to run an internet server from an old computer that we have. It has to be secure, so no hackers get in. That would make my dad mad. So, anyone know anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Try using the latest version of Apache for linux for that. I found that server to be very secure. Make sure you CHMOD your files apporiately. (CHMOD is file permissions on UNIX). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 Yeah, I saw Apache, but it looks rather complex... I guess I actually have to expend some effort. Darn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Really? Setting up a webserver does take some effort. You also need a static IP Address for a webserver. (Not standard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 I don't think you get it. I don't like making an effort. *Uses Mind Trick on TheTycooner* YOU WILL MAKE MY SERVER FOR ME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Dravis Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 OK. How soon can you have it ready? You're going to have to give me your address (PM me) so I can send you the money. Would you prefer cash or money order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
