Hi there, I am a Student currently studying IT Networking and a lot of my course is based off of Linux stuff so you might see me posting and asking question here in the future.

Right now I am working on a report on which I have to design a new system implementation for a small business. Basically this business hosts websites for clubs or whatever.

I have decided to use Linux Red Hat as a NOS, but one of the things I am having problem with is I do not know the strength and weaknesses with Linux Red Hat as I have not used it yet (I have only done Apache using Linux Centos5).

So what exactly would make Linux Red Hat a good OS for this business and what are some security issues it may have?

Welcome to the forums!

A Linux system is only as secure as its admin. I recommend you start by reading the Sticky threads at the top of this sub-forum, in particular this one: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...erences-45261/
