Secure Linux Distro Hardened for Server Operation
Hello all!
I'm fairly new to Linux, but am wanting to set up a secure Linux server which will incorporate a web server w/SSL, SFTPD, SSHD, a mail server, and finally, a MySQL server.
After much research, I am still at odds over which distro would be most suitable (in security capabilities) to host these servers.
Is there a distro which comes pre-hardened and secured against the most recent exploits/vuln.?
Any ideas or guides which would be of interest in securing and hardening a linux distro for server use, please let me know.
I am planning on running this distro as a dedicated server in a DMZ.
TIA-
Collin
