Hi,

I am looking for a very secure and minimal distro to run an Apache production server. It would seem as if Damn Small Linux fits the bill. Is their a specific package of all necessary programs compiled already to do this? I really don't have the experience to build such a specific package myself. I would appreciate a link to this info if it exists. Thank you very much.

Brian

Might be overkill but you can try Xampp: Xampp website link

Also search this forum for Xampp to find others who use it.

If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "

I am familiar with xampp, but that is a server package that you add to an existing linux installation. It is the initial installation I am concerned about. I would like to have a very minimal OS...just enough to run the server apps, to reduce potential security problems.

There is an Apache/PHP dsl extension already built in the Testing area.

I would recommend xampp...installed on a frugal persistant /opt /home deal....

the xampp is designed to be extracted and run from /opt dir anyway...so running it like that would make it sooooo much easier to run
