    Scrap the Redhat dist and go with Owl or OpenBSD instead. RedHat is more
    of a client side OS than a server, so you'll see a lot of 'userfriendly
    features' that eases the management of the system, which provide
    holes for attackers and won't be necessary if you intend to run it as a
    standalone server.

    The more userfriendly the design, the more 'hackable' and 'DoSable' it
    gets. Just have a quick look at MicroSofts products and you'll get the
    point.

    Cheers.
