Assuming you are talking about a webserver only.

Configure up2date and make sure you run it everyday. Stop all services
other than keytable, atd, syslog, network, random, rawdevices, crond,
anacron, ntpd and sshd.

Compile from source apache, mod_ssl and whatever programming laguage
specific modules you need and make sure you are on their mailling lists
to be aware of any vulnerabilities. Mind you a upgrade of openssl would
require a recompilling of mod_ssl.
