Hi

I am working on setting up a web server with plone (content management). I
have a fair bit (6-7 years) of Linux user and part-time admin experience,
but want to do a good job (a very secure setup which can handle denial of
service, etc. kind of attacks) for this latest project of mine.

I am considering three alternatives - Slackware, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. From a
security and speed point of view for my needs, which do you think is a
better choice ? You may assume my experience with BSD, etc. to be nil,
while with Slackware, I use it as my personal router / firewall and find
its setup easy and secure.

I am also interested in learning about the system I setup, so availability
of good documentation and sizeable, helpful Usenet communities (like the
good folks at comp.os.linux.misc, etc.) would be a big plus. I do not want
too steep a learning curve, as I need to get the first version of the
webpage up in a week or so.

Thanks.

I host my Plone sites on FreeBSD. It works well. I can find most of
the Zope products I want in the ports tree.

Whether Slackware, FreeBSD, or OpenBSD are suitable server platforms
is largely a matter of opinion. You should probably use the operating
system with which you and your staff are most familiar. I happen to
be most familiar with FreeBSD (though I have to give props and thanks
to Pat and Theo for their efforts). If you want FreeBSD installation
instructions, feel free to refer to my mini-installation HOWTO, found
at http://web.irtnog.org/~xenophon/freebsd/install.
