Rodolfo,
Have a look at the following document:
Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-1_3.pdf (also avail in other formats)
available from
http://www.openna.com
http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#guide
and a few other places
The author makes a pretty good case, and step-through, for installing a
stock RH6 Server (might want to apply this to an RH -7 distro), removing
all kinds of stuff from it, dl -ing a secure kernel package, then compiling
a monolithic kernel.
The document is extremely comprehensive, and was a bit of overkill for my
own needs (internal server), but still had lots of good ideas
