If you would like to use a current version of RedHat there are several
clones. One that I use is TAOLinux. It is currently RHEL4. The goal of this
project was to create as close to a RedHat release as possible. If you set
up the GUI there is a very straight forward security tool to do the
firewall. Also during install there is a section to setup the rules as
well. I run both version 1 and 4 on the web with no trouble.
You will want to keep SSH but may opt to not do SSL. DO NOT use telnet to
administer the machine unless it is a secured version. Most of them are not.
I only use SSH and a SSH tunnel for a VNC session.

Subject: Easy Tomcat Linux/Unix Platform
I have a project that I need to deploy on the web. It was up and
running as a prototype a few years ago on the current RedHat version of
that time. I had professional help on the Linux end at that time. I
want to deploy it with a current Linux or BSD version in the next couple
of days.
I should have it up and running on my "windows" laptop with netbeans
version 4.1 and mysql version 5 shortly. I'm stumbling through that now
but I expect to have the prototype working again on my laptop in a few
hours. I will make a few changes and then be ready to deploy it to the
web, but not on a windows platform.
I am looking for suggestions for which flavor of Linux to use which will
be the easiest to setup both in the setup of this Java/JSP/Tomcat/MySQL
app and web security. I can leave SSH off which should help a lot but I
also know I need a strong iptables/iprules setup. Trying to learn the
rules rules made me a little dizzy last time.
Last year I talked to a guy about doing this with the current FreeBSD
version at that time which I believe was 5 and he told me that binaries
were not supported and I would have to compile from source etc. I don't
know if that is still the case today.
I would like to do this myself so the easier the better, yet I need to
have good security - maybe from a cookie cutter rules file.
Thanks,
Larry Nobs
