I am bringing a 256k DSL into my home to connect my Debian Linux Server to. I plan to use it as a Web Server. I am currently running the simple Mosaic Web Server software on it because all I really need to do is serve up HTML, but I have a few questions for anyone who might have an opinion or the time to respond:
1. Should I move to Apache, even if I don't need that much power? Would it be best because everyone else is running Apache and I can get better support? 2. Before I place this online, is there any suggestions anyone would make that would help secure the box before placing it online? Are there any specific packages I should not have installed? I should let you know, I will have it behind a Cisco 765 ADSL Router with Firewall/Packet Filtering, I plan to filter everything coming in out and I will only allow port 80 that is coming in for the Server's IP address. 3. Lastly, I would also like to use it as a Mail Server. Should I just use Sendmail? or is there another package that would be easier to use and manage?
