"1. UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM OFTEN!

While Linux security is generally better than Windows, any system not properly maintained will be insecure.

Perhaps it was inconvenient to keep up with security in the past, there are two convenient ways of keeping your Red Hat system updated at all times with minimal effort. Keep updating. It is fast and easy."

Jay Berkenbilt has posted a guide on the Red Hat 8.0 mailinglist about making your own RedHat 8.0 DVD from the CD ISO images:

Red Hat has finally created a DVD version of their distribution for US consumers. (They've had one in Europe for a while, I understand.)
For 8.0, though, it seems that you have to buy RedHat 8.0 Professional to get the DVD, and RedHat is not presently offering an ISO image of the DVD for download.

After reading some of the anaconda source code, I have figured out how you can make your own DVD from the CD ISO images. I've done this, written it to a DVD+RW disc, had it pass its Media check, and successfully installed from it.

The Xbox Linux Project website has posted a guide about How to Install SuSE Linux 8 on your Xbox:

"Standard Linux distributions do work on the Xbox, with minor modifications. To run SuSE Linux as a server, you only have to change two lines in the Linux kernel, disable one init script and install two drivers for audio and networking. Having an Xbox that runs as a standalone Linux workstation does not require much more work. This article is a step-by-step tutorial to install SuSE 8 with X-Window on the Xbox."
