This is my new setup. I got rid of Ubuntu to install Scientific Linux.
Concerning security, the first thing I do is a 3 steps action regarding apparmor: 1- install some additional apparmor profiles: sudo apt-get...
Rmus, if you simply use a default SRP, you can use a reg file as shown here for example: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=200772...
