Re: [arch-general] Arch as a web server

I'm has used the archlinux in all. My servers are running firewall, web, bd, proxy, DNS, dhcp and others. I'm used politics of update/upgrade, and mark some packages to not update/upgrade. I'm used only the oficial mirror in the pacman. I'm removed compilers and run hardenings. On Jun 26, 2012 9:31
