In that case, it's really just a matter of time. If you rebuild the box with Redhat/FC make sure to turn on nightly updates with YUM (chkconfig yum on). It will automatically download and install any updates and makes the whole process much easier and also makes getting cracked much less likely.

You read my mind on that move. I had recently doen this for my desktop/workstation. I was reluctatn to do this as some programs on the server had been compliled from source.
