    New SecuraBit VPS! (We have since cancelled and will be moving to something else soon)

    Linode with CentOS. However, no SELinux available

    For CentOS help go to: #CentOS on irc.freenode.net

    Tips for configuring the new server:

    Disable root login on ssh Good passwords Lock down ports

    The Securabit guys started using the CentOS distribution because of its interconnections with Snort

    See this site for details on how to configure Snort on CentOS
