Here is an excellent place to start. http://www.openna.com/ They publish a book on security and optimization, it is geared at Redhat, but is suitable for Linux-Mandrake or any other disto. You can download the book here: http://www.openna.com/books/registration.htm I downloaded it sometime ago and it covers a great deal, Squid, BIND, Samba and more! For course securing your box is just the being, subscribe to Mandrake's security notices, update software as soon as security updates are available. You must remain proactive to ensure a secure system.
