Hello Dave,
my advice (and I have to deal with RH Linux 80% of
my work time) to you and other designer guys here is:
don't fall for Linux hype, go with OpenBSD.
You install the core system, which already has Apache 1
with many security improvements (compared to the original
Apache code) and which runs in chroot (i.e. if one of your
scripts gets hacked, the abuser will stay locked in /var/www
directory and as a non-root user).
Then you just install PHP (hardened) and MySQL or
PostgreSQL packages using the "pkg_add" command
and you're ready to go.
And if you add this line into your pf.conf (firewall config):
block out quick on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } all user www
then any PHP worms won't have a chance to propagate...
Etc. etc... Search for OpenBSD hosting and you'll love it.
Regards
Alex
