Simply keep installing Red Hat Linux systems, always disable any unneeded
daemons and keep it current with official updates. Of course, what to NOT
do in this case is to run Microsoft Windows, leave IIS enabled and to not
install the latest Service Pack 32 because it was reported to break
things... but believe it or not, some people did this and now there's not
much we can do about all this "hammering"...
