size=2>Another book (aside from Hacking Exposed) is "Securing and
Optimizing Linux Red Hat Edition - A Hands on Guide" available at <A
href="http://www.linuxdoc.org">http://www.linuxdoc.org</A>. It's free, and
it is a step by step to build a secure server. It is a little dated,
giving examples using rh 6.2. The one chapter that has been definitely
superceded is the chapter on ipchains, which has been replaced by
iptables. However, this still should get you pretty close to what you
need. </FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=700320303-20122001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If
you're not using RedHat, then the general security measures are still a good
guide, you'll just need to go to your distro do get the
details.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

dual booting with redhat 7.2 on this machine, and have dual booted with
Mandrake. (I know someone will take umbrage, but) I think they are both
pretty good. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You where talking about this subject
in an email or two ago. </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>It was on Network Security I think a boof you have read or
are reading.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Was it on Network Security </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>in general ie: Linux/Unix and Windows. If so could you
please mention the title of this book again. I've been reading Hacking Exposed
second edition. (Mc Graw Hill press) ,and Hack Proofing your Network Internet
Tradecraft. (Syngress press) also do you know of any books on Linux/Unix
Security.</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been getting NetBio's hits and
SMTP hits which brought down my Celeron Box, but everything was backed-up
anyways and my other boxes are up and running. Right this vary minute I'm low
level formatting the HDD's on the Celeron to reinstall Win 98 SE Second
Version.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like an option on the subject of dual-booting
a version of Linux on this
celeron box I was thinking of RedHat</FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2> 7.2 for Intel. Do you have any suggestions
that </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>is of </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>another choice than RedHat 7.2.? There are 2. 13gig
HDD's on the box in question, 768mb of ram,</FONT></DIV>
