There are many ways of deploying a hardend linux server, but the very basic points are to keep to the established best practices in the field of security. Depending on how the rules will be, it's up to us to give it our best shot in deploying a secure server. > Guys ( & Gals), Let's not be blinded by the potential prize gained by being > able to complete this challenge....

So it's not a laughing matter volunteering for this group. The results of this event will be repeated in every argument about OSS and security in the future - so what happens matters a lot - for Linux and OSS in the Philippines. > It's supposed to be fun, not an obsession This is not simply for fun.

So volunteers better make it an obsession, and make it count. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
