If this were a discussion outside of a redhat forum, I would take the middle road and say you have to use what is best for your site and what you are most comfortable with. However, I can see everyone not being very helpful and telling him to put in a linux box. What kind of answer did he expect coming here? Okay, now for a constructional answer besides the simplest of putting linux and apache in place, put a firewall in front of this box, and have it filter the unwanted ports out. Or buy firewalling software for your Windows 2000 box to do the same. The other thing to check is what services you are running. Disable those services you are not using from starting. If you are not sending popup messages via Windows messenger, disable that pronto. Do that on your home machines also. Spammers have figured that one out. They now send spam via MS messenger. (Note: this is the actual messenger service, not to be confused with MSN Messenger. It is a service that allows a system administrator to send messages in a popup window to users logged into a machine similar to the way rwall used to do it on the UNIX side of things.) Just a helpful hint, from your Uncle Ed. I now return you to your regulary scheduled drudgery.
