Hello there! I'm fairly new to linux and debian, and would like to know a few things...
I have a couple of redhat internet servers, but I like debian concept and package management so much that I would like to start using debian for servers... I have used debian distro (libranet) for quite a while and it's my favorite for destop.... My questions: Will I be in the safe side if I decide to use debian for an internet server to serve web/mail/servlets/php/mysql and stuff like that as far as performance and security goes? compared to a redhat system? One thing I noticed on this new debian system I just installed is that to connect to the box by ssh it takes like 2 minutes to get connected over the lan, where if I try ssh to one of the redhat ones I have here it is instantly connected, both have the same network cards and the debian machine is a pIII 450, the redhat is a p 200.... Can someone also point me out to where to get the right apt sources to go to woody and sid??? Thanks in advance!
