    >Hi.

    Hi,

    >I would thanks information about security in Linux:

    >1. Securing a linux server (specially Redhat). Installing and
    administering a linux
    >server in a secure form

    You have a manual called Securing and optimizing Linux (Redhat edition)
    available here :

    http://www.linuxsecurity.com/docs/Securing-Optimizing-v1.3/

    You could take a look also for the securing debian manual available at
    debian.org. Even
    if it's talking about debian, some principles are applicable for Redhat
    Servers too.

    >2. Why is linux more secure than windows

    Because you have access to the code source and when a security hole is
    found, the patch
    comes very quickly ...
    The list of the advantages is very long but i can't put them all here,
    you should take
    a look on google to search things like this ...

    >3. Securying Squid

    Try linuxsecurity.com, you should find some interesting articles there
    ...

    >Thanks a lot
