My docs are at jongriffin.com/static. I also added some new stuff over the weekend.

I have to disagree with installing RH 6.2. That release is a security flaw waiting to happen. The kernel is really not safe, and most of the packages have major exploits.

If you don't want to compile a kernel yourself you should probably not be hosting your own site, period.

Also, don't use a 2.4.x kernel because there are major files system corruption problems and some minor security issues (mainly NFS).

Use 2.2.19, very stable and all know exploits are gone (of course someone will find more, but the script kiddies won't hit you).
