I would suggest things, but if you care so much about security you will
throw out the two reigning platforms you are not left with much choice.
I'm noticing this. A can't say that the security concerns are
absolute, but it goes against the grain to set up systems with known,
unavoidable vulnerabilities.
But it also goes against the grain to spend ridiculous amounts of time
or treasure to make the thing invulnerable.
This. Build a good system and protect the front of it, or make it
non-web-accessible completely except for SSH/VPN through a strong gateway.
I love security, but I also have to think to myself "am I a target"?
That being said I probably already put too much thought into security
for a system that in a few years will be changed anyways.
