Unix/Linux security
Hi all. I'm so new to Linux I don't even know where to start. I'm running sles 9 and I've had it up for 2 days now. I'd like to start with information on how to secure my server. I want to use it for hosting my personal web site and email eventually.
Does anyone know of a good site that will show me what to do - including the commands that I/we could copy and paste?
Any help and direction would be appreciated!
Thanks,
JR
